I would like to access my files from my account in my institute cluster. I usually do sftp://userName@hostname in terminal, however when I does the same from Finder > Go > Connect to Server and enter the "sftp://<UserName>@<hostname>", it opens up VLC for authenticaiton, and upon entering the details, VLC crashes. Is there a way I can access these files from Finder?

Hello,
try again "Finder > Go > Connect to Server" but type "ftps://user@host"
The problem is that VLC is capturing the sftp:// commands while the finder easily opens an ftps:// or smb:// directory.
I hope this helps.
This doesn't work for me. While I can connect, I only have read permissions for each file/folder even though I am logged in as the owner. I tried sftp (ftps in this case) and still only had read permissions.
I have the exact same problem, all the way through VLC crashing, and I too agree this should be integrated. The only resource I can find anyone talking about is Macfusion, which depends on Google MacFUSE which is no longer being maintained since 2009 or so. We are severely lacking in this department.
