Files: Unable to mount server (SSH)

Question

I'd like to use Pantheon to connect to a remote server via ssh. I verified that the credentials correct - I can connect via ssh in the terminal.

It appears to connect, but then says

Unable to Mount Folder. Could not connect to the server for this folder.

No matter which folder I choose, /, ~, or /home/myuser (I have read access to /).

@wolf I'm selecting ssh in the option, as in sftp. (Did that answer the question?) — FooBar, Commented Oct 9, 2016 at 15:31
I also had the same issues with the Files app. I installed nautilus and was easily able to access my personal network shares. I know it is not a 'fix' to install a different app, but thought it might help for the time being. — Travis Dill, Commented Oct 9, 2016 at 20:33
