Sftp in nautilus

Dear all,
does anyone know how to connect to a remote machine using SFTP in Gnome’s file manager Nautilus?

the server uses cert-based authentication.
ssh -p 2223 user@ip works fine
sftp -P 2223 user@ip works fine too.

Is it possible to do the same with nautilus? I can’t find any documentation on how to change port and define cert.

Use the standard URL notation:

sftp://user@host:port/path

Authentication should work using GNOME keyring.

great, this works. I (thought I) had tried that before and it didn’t succeed. Glad it’s so easy! Thanks!
