Description Simon Steinbeiss editbugs 2013-05-06 20:39:05 CEST
Currently Thunar opens the / of remote servers when connecting to ssh://user@server.

It would be nicer (and I would assume more intuitive) if the user were forwarded to /home/user instead, as happens when mounting via sshfs or accessing via ssh in the terminal.

+1

Just a note that a hard redirect to /home/user/ isn't the wanted solution (with many hosts you won't have a real /home-dir). Instead, Thunar should mount to whatever mountpoint specified as the "home" for the logged in user.
Comment 2 Harald Judt editbugs 2015-04-17 16:49:11 CEST
Yes, this would be much better and I remember this is what nautilus does. It seems thunar does not support "ssh://user@server:" syntax.
