nautilus server connection permanent

Asked by WilhelmGGW

Lucid. Nautilus. Connect to server.
Once I connect to a server, now do I make that connection permanent; i.e., that it's established automatically whenever I reboot?

You could set the password to »Remember forever«.

Then go to System → Preferences → Startup Applications and add a new entry.

The name can be anything you want (like »Server«) and for the command insert:
nautilus [address of the server]

Example: nautilus ftp://<email address hidden>/folder

This should open a File Manager window on every startup, automatically establishing the connection.

Uff! I can't set my password to Remember Forever. I need Remember Never.

First, sorry for the triple post. ;)

If you want your password not to be remembered that is fine. But then there is no way the computer can establish a connection automatically (without you typing the password).

You could set it to »Forget immediately« and apart from that do what I described above. This way, you will be prompted to input your server password each startup and then be connected.

Can you help with this problem?
