In Thunar, how do we "Connect to Server..."?

Post by pepperminty »

I was advised to go to Thunar>File>Connect_to_Server, but I don't see this "Connect to server" option.
So how do connect to a server? I'm trying to connect to my wireless router.

Thunar does not have a "Connect to Server" option. Most XFCE based distros like Xubuntu come with gigolo sudo apt install gigolo for this function. Mint is the exception.

I think I found the answer.
In Thunar, it's under Go>Location.

That either switches you from Pathbar to Toolbar View or highlights the path if you are already in Toolbar view.

It doesn't open up a Connect-to-Server app:

I've used Gigolo for years in Mint's Xfce editions. It's always worked for me. :-)

Once connected through Gigolo, I can then see/access my connections in Thunar's "Network" heading in the left pane.

Okay, looks like gigolo is already installed on my computer. I do hope I'll see the newly connected networks in my Thunar after I use Gigolo. :)
