'Open in Remote Terminal' in sftp root user not showing up

Question

After opening file manager, clicking on the other-locations tab and open an sftp connection. I try to open a remote terminal by right-clicking on the folder and selecting Open in Remote Terminal. Instead of opening under the user root of the ubuntu I'm trying to connect, it opens the user under the name of my current computer.
