"Connect to server" option changed in 14.04?? Can't connect using WebDav

  • 772

I am on Ubuntu 14.04. I would like to connect to my Android phone using WebDav. I've done this from a Mac, from Windows, and from Kubuntu (using Dolphin -- this also works in Ubuntu using Dolphin) with no problem. But when I select "Connect to server" I get this dialog box:

New Dialog

But it used to look like this

Old Dialog

Is there any way to get the old dialog back? I would like to follow the tutorial under davDrive here (www.upubuntu.com/2012/01/some-free-apps-for-managing-your.html) (as it is intuitive and how Kubuntu worked), but I can't do it with the current dialog.

Is there any way to directly connect to a WebDav client inside Nautilus by typing webdav://10.0.1.15:8888/ into the location bar (CTRL-L)? I get an error message every time: "Sorry, could not display all the contents of “10.0.1.15 (webdav)”: The specified location is not supported." This too works in Dolphin.

    Regarding the second question, the answer is to type "dav://10.0.1.15:8888/" into the location bar and/or the "Connect to Server" dialog box. This is the prefix that Nautilus uses

  2. Try using this one line format:

    davs://<user_name>@<server>/<path>:<port>
