Note: This method was tested in Ubuntu 10.04, but should work similarly for Ubuntu 8.04 and later.
For older versions of Ubuntu, hey seethis article.
Start by clicking on Places > Connect to Server.
Choose to enter Anyway.
While you specified the user name earlier, the password for this server is entered now.
And that’s it!
A link should appear on your desktop, and double-clicking it launch the resource in the file web app.
But what if you gotta use that resource from the command line?
cd ~/.gvfs/
Entering ls will allow you to see the any mounted remote resources.
Sure beats having to use FTP clients and command-line utilities.
