I am not sure why the colon is needed for you. It works without the colon for me and the directory is always absoulute as in ssh://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/user/backupdir
I will try to investigate this how GnomeVFS handles that colon and try to come up with a good way to explain when it is needed. -- sbackup remote target fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/44260 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
