I am currently trying to make a desktop shortcut pointing to a network location.
I believe there's a way to do this and that I am probably missing something simple.
Can anyone able to point me in the right direction? I am trying to create a short cut pointing to: 192.168.1.90
Say your server is an sftp server of the url ftp://myserver.com and your username there is myuser (works the same way for a regular ftp server or samba). You can open it with your regular nautilus file manager using nautilus ftp://[email protected] &.
The proceeding to do so in a .desktop file is basically as in 天使の's answer. You create a *.desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Network(myserver)
Comment=Open ip in Nautilus
Exec=nautilus nautilus ftp://[email protected]
Icon=network
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=GNOME;
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;
X-GNOME-Keywords=Network;myserver;
Name[en_US]=blubb
When you first connect to that server, you will be asked for a Password. Type in your password and click "Remember forever" in the password dialog.
