    Hello,

    each time I try to open a connection via ftp, sftp,.. I've the following message :

    "Couldn't open the URI specified. Please check the consistency of the resource identifier and the access permission."

    Any idea ?

    Regards.

    Networking connections are handled by the gvfs plugin, you should see it in the Plugins menu. It's a bridge to GIO resources, you also need gvfs backends installed (depends on your distribution). Running tuxcmd -debug will show you more. GIO is available in  glib since 2.16.0

    I see it.

    I'm on an Ubuntu server 8.04. Ok, I've just installed gvfs-backends and its dependencies.
    But I've got the same error.

    > Running tuxcmd -debug will show you more. GIO is available in glib since 2.16.0

    without debug mode :

    # tuxcmd
    (II) GVFS: is_active = 1
    (II) GVFS: supported schemes: file

    in debug mode, when I click on connect for a connection :

    ### VFS ###: libarchive plugin: VFSInit

    then I click on the error message, and :

    ### VFS ###: libarchive plugin: VFSDestroy

    You should see something like this:
    (II) GVFS: supported schemes: file;archive;dns-sd;http;smb;burn;network;davs;dav;gphoto2;cdda;trash;ftp;afc;computer;localtest;sftp;ssh;davs+sd;dav+sd;obex

    Having only file scheme available indicates a problem in your system. Nautilus also uses gvfs so you can try debugging on it. GVFS requires running session dbus daemon, perhaps it's not started (should be automatic when logged via gdm in a Gnome session).

    I'm in a fluxbox session.
