Have you tried it yet?

I can't get Unison to connect to my server. I was able to connect using
Nautilus and could use Meld, but I'd like to try Unison.

Any ideas as to why it might be failing to connect?

It gets as far as asking for the password, and then it pops up windows
'Contacting server' and then 'Fatal error.  Lost connection with the
server'. I've tried quite a few times.
