Can't mount sftp with gio mount

I have bookmarks for other computers on my home LAN on pcmanfm with the following address format:

sftp://{user}@{ip address}/home/{user}

These stopped working some time back (over a year ago I think) and now I get the message:

Unable to find supported SSH command

I can still mount through sshfs from the command line:

sshfs {user}@{ip address}:/home/user {target dir}

trying with gvfs-mount produces:

This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio mount' instead.

Using gio mount with the same address format produces the same error as the pop up on pcmanfm:

gio mount -i sftp://{user}@{ip address}/home/{user}
Error mounting location: Unable to find supported SSH command

Coming back to this the other day to have a proper look at it I thought I'd be able to figure it out but I'm out of ideas, can anyone provide further assistance?
