You don't get thumbnails with sshfs or ftp (if you can
still even use that), etc. I don't know about any options
for that.
False! - we do get thumbnails, certainly with 'sftp' on my
LAN I get them no problems, in Nautilus.

I agree it's a pain getting a photo from a phone. That's
why I copy them all off before trying to find one. I
would certainly not want Nautilus to be trying to make
thumbnails because that would make it almost useless. It
would take the same amount of time to copy the files as it
would to make the thumbnails and I would now have the
pictures in a useful location.
