SUMMARY If I restart my router, or toggle WiFi off/on on my mobile phone, and the SFTP auto-connect option is enabled, the Android app increments the port number it chooses by one, which causes unwanted extra entries in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file of the paired desktop Linux machine. If the Android app reused the same port when reconnecting, this would not happen. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Pair Android app with desktop Linux machine 2. Enable SFTP (and auto-connect) option 3. After pairing is established, observe one new host key for mobile phone in desktop machine's known_hosts file 4. Toggle WiFi off/on and wait a moment for app to reconnect SFTP. 5. (optional) Set HashKnownHosts to 'yes' in desktop SSH config file, to confirm source IP of the redundant lines originates from mobile phone's LAN IP. OBSERVED RESULT A new host key appears in the desktop machine's known_hosts file every single time WiFi + SFTP disconnects and reconnects. EXPECTED RESULT The same port should be reused so that only one host key ever appears in the desktop machine's known_hosts file after WiFi + SFTP disconnects and reconnects.
