Description Jason Keirstead 2005-02-18 14:51:25 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

My SSH login name for a server is in the form of an email address (me@somebox.com) , and is quite long. To save me from having to type it in everywhere, I have an entry for it in my ~/.ssh/config like this:

Host somebox.com
User me@somebox.com

To my dismay, neither FISH nor SFTP seem to respect the settings in this file - it is trying to connect with my local username, and failing (if it had been actually connecting with the name in the file, I would not even need a password, because of my keys ).

I also have some other settings in there regarding compression that I would like it to be respecting.

Let me know if I should also be filing a duplicate bug report for the FISH IO slave. I don't know if they have different maintainers?

I'd really like to see feature implemented soon.

Comment 4 Andreas Nuesslein 2007-02-05 23:23:50 UTC

ah - never attached a patch before.. wasn't quite sure, what it was going to look like. so anyways - i made a little patch for kde-3.5.6
it gives you the possibility to read User and Port from .ssh/config .
SSH_FORWARDAGENT and SSH_FORWARDX11   should be editable now too, eventhough they're probably not really relevant for the sftp:// connection.
compression i think was always able to be edited btw, but i'm not really sure about that.

enjoy =)
