What if you install it first? Depending on how your distro splits packages, you might still have the avahi libraries installed for gvfs, but not the commandline tools.
Anyway, Sebastian is probably right. For network places which are not mounted to appear in Other Locations, it must be autodiscovery.
HI
Please could you break that down a litlle simplier for a Linux noob.
I have 25 years etched into my old Wndows brain.
I recently moved to Fedora a few months ago and trying my best to read and understand.
But some stuff is a little abve my current knowledge base:)
In simpler terms, the links listed in Other Locations have not been “added”. They are automatically detected feom your local network.
Maybe the server is broadcasting wrong information, or the autodiscovery from this side is misunderstanding it.
The autodiscovery service is provided by software package called avahi. In order to gather more clues about what avahi knows about the server, it would be useful if you manage to install the avahi-browse utility program. You got the “command not found” error because it’s not installed.
I’m not 100% sure, but this utility program is probably included in the avahi-tools package. So, can yoou install it with the following command and then try again to provide the information Sebastian asked for?
sudo dnf install avahi-tools
Hi
These 2 links have worked for a long time.
But I added ssh keys now, before it was ssh with password.
Now it’s ssh keys and they stopped working.
But I cannot edit or remove them
You cannot edit nor remove because it’s all automatic detection.
While you were writing your last reply, I’ve added a second message above, with how to get more information about what’s going on, which you may have missed. Please see above.
Hi yes I did read but I find it impossible to beli that the day I add ssh login to two separate servers on the same day.
Both these 2 links in nautilus fail, so I has to be the latter.
So my nose tells me it’s my laptop but how do I investigate that.
I know I could delete the ssh keys but kind of defeats the object.
I am amazed there is no way in logs to see the exact issue or terminal to stop / delete these or edit.
The key password is ok if you can remember your 40 connections the descriptions are all blank
That’s what I wrote about. Please read the instructions to install the avahi-browse above.
Hi
Apologies I didn’t see that post
Does everything match? Like IP addresses and ports?
Did you add/change some host specific configuration on the client to specify which key to use for which host/IP? If the .local hostname is getting used to connect to the server, this might have a different IP address. Try checking with host HOSTNAME if they resolve to the 192.168... IP addresses used in your config. If not, try editing the client side SSH configuration to make sure the host specific settings also apply to the .local hostname.
HI
This is my ssh conf file simple one
I think i see an errror 2 server have same key thorrrr!
I will change 192.168.23.100 to unraid key.
Still not sure why thorrrr would error
If i type:
ssh thorrrr i go directly into server
ssh unraid i go directly into server
But trying the old links from here has stopped working.
It has to beconnected with adding ssh keys but not sure what!
How do i get these 2 connections out of Nautilus or edit them to work again.

I have edited unraid restarted ssh but still got same issues
Try Host thorrrr.local thorrrr instead of Host thorrrr. That way your settings will still be used for the zeroconf hostname which might be used when connecting to the services announced via zeroconf/DNS-SD.
That’s correct, the upshot being you can’t actually store the root of a server anywhere, in a way that’s accessible on first connection. You’ll always end up at your home directory. Once the remote filesystem is mounted, though, if you create a bookmark to the root of the device, then it will work to navigate there. The auto-mount entry in the sidebar will still go to your homedir, tho.
IOW, this is my Nautilus sidebar. The bottom two entries are bookmarks. (Ignore the Dropbox folder):
The bottom entry is a bookmark to sftp://ferd@______.local/. But if the top entry isn’t already mounted, clicking it will take me to sftp://ferd@_____.local/home/ferd/. Only after the mount is in place (like above), clicking the bottom entry will take me to exactly where it says: the root of the filesystem on ______.local.
(Clicking the top entry, the automount, always takes me to my home directory on _____.local.)
