i have several entries in my ~/.ssh/config file and krusader happily picks them up for connections like 'sftp://aliasName/blah' To get some order into my configs, i distributed the entries into several files and have an 'include' in my ~/.ssh/config like so (must be at the beginning for it to work!): # includes Include config_others Host somehost HostName 1.2.3.4 ... In krusader, only the entries of config are available for sftp. If i want to use 'config_others', i have to explicitly move or symlink this file to ~/.ssh/config for krusader to pick it up. (or, could this be a bug in the kio framework which krusader is simply using?)
Can you try the same on Dolphin? Sftp is handled by kio-extras, it could be a common problem or a wrong implementation in Krusader. Thank you
sorry for the long delay.. Tried with dolphin, the behaviour is exactly the same as in krusader. So: having a config file without "include"s, those entries are resolved. Having a config file which i want to include as 'standalone' config, all is well Having a config file with the include statement, then the inlcuded files entries are not resolved I think this is clearly a problem with kio then
Seems to be working with KDE Frameworks 5.110.0 . It wasn't likely to be a Krusader problem to begin with as that just uses KIO (and extras) where the SFTP slave is a wrapper for libssh. Figured that this would be yet another libssh problem as its options support is quite spotty, but apparently it supported Include well before the bug report, so theoretically it should have worked already. Not sure why did the issue happened back then, but I can't reproduce it, so assuming that something was fixed after all.

i tried freshly with Includes and it works as expected. Closing this ticket now.
sorry to reopen: but still not working correctly: in my config, i had more than one include and now i have according to man, more than one file defined within a single include. The problem is, only the first included file gets resolved properly, the rest goes into error with 'host definition not found' According to the man pages of ssh_config: Include Include the specified configuration file(s). Multiple pathnames may be specified and each pathname may contain glob(7) wildcards and, for user configurations, shell-like ‘~’ references to user home directories. Wildcards will be expanded and processed in lex‐ ical order. Files without absolute paths are assumed to be in ~/.ssh if included in a user configuration file or /etc/ssh if in‐ cluded from the system configuration file. Include directive may appear inside a Match or Host block to perform conditional inclu‐ sion. My config is spread over several files. If i include them with wildcards, then all of them work. But not if they are specified in a list...
While the recently described issue can be considered a subset of the original problem, it's already being tracked by Bug 475638 . The other bug report is specifically about the problem that still exists which helps with keeping noise down, therefore I recommend tracking that, and I believe this report should be closed instead of being turned into a duplicate report.
i'm fine with this solution!
