[Michael Ott]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.30.1-2
Severity: normal

Try to connect to a box using sftp

I got the following error messageError:
Could not display "sftp:<hostname>".
Error reading from Unix: Input/output error
Please select another viewer and try again.

It works correct on my Debian testing box
