Ah ok, thanks Peter. I thought SSH had nothing to do with ftp (thought
ftp was to trasfer files to/from a server, and SSH was to get remote
access to linux box via the command line).

So I tried SSH, but I get the same problem: "timed out while trying to
log in"... oops.

It's too bad that Nautilus doesn't have any debug options to trouble
shoot this problem ! Grrrr.... :-(

Vince, glad gFTP works perfectly, but would still find it more
convenient if Nautilus would work too !
