Can't use .ssh/config alias with HostName #396

RixzZ · 2018-11-15T13:52:17Z

Do you read the FAQ?

Yes.
I am going to read now.

Describe the bug
If I try to connect to a host defined on my .ssh/config when an alias (and a HostName), the plugin replies with: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND.
I can use the same alias with SSH and it works just fine.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create an entry in your .ssh/config using a non-address alias as "Host" and the correct server address in "HostName"
Configure it on the VSCode SFTP plugin.
Try to do anything that uses that SFTP connection.
See error.

Expected behavior
The plugin should connect correctly when using the SSH_AGENT and the configuration from .ssh/config.

Current SFTP config

{
    "protocol": "sftp",
    "host": "rpi-rsa",
    "port": 22,
    "username": "rpi",
    "remotePath": "/home/pi/Test",
    "agent": "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK"
}

Current .ssh/config section for that Host:

Host rpi-rsa
    HostName XXXXX.XXXXX.XXX
    User pi
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa-personal

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Please try 1.7.6-debug.

Hello.

Thanks for your reply. I just tried with the 1.7.6-debug version and same result. I'll attach the logs with debug enabled:

@RixzZ Try 1.7.6-debug.1.

@RixzZ I think this is still the old version. Try to uninstall sftp-debug and quit vscode and reinstall.

RixzZ · 2018-11-16T06:05:05Z

Oh, okay. Now the log is bigger:

Seems like it can see the config at least.

I don't know if this is important, but on this PC, right now I also apply this settings for all connections:

UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no
GSSAPIAuthentication no
IdentitiesOnly yes
AddKeysToAgent yes
SendEnv LANG LC_*
LogLevel QUIET

The 'IdentitiesOnly yes' is needed in my case because I have two keys that can access the 'rpi-rsa' server. One ed25519 and one rsa I created for the SFTP plugin since it can't use ed25519.

Maybe the plugin don't see that flag and try to login with the edd25519?

liximomo · 2018-11-16T06:15:20Z

It can see the config, but only a part of.

config: 
   l [
     { type: 1,
       param: 'User',
       separator: ' ',
       value: 'pi',
       before: '    ',
       after: '\n' },
     { type: 1,
       param: 'IdentityFile',
       separator: ' ',
       value: '~/.ssh/id_rsa-personal',
       before: '    ',
       after: '\n\n' } ] }

It can't see HostName.

BYW, you didn't give the full log. Please provide the full log.

RixzZ · 2018-11-16T06:32:04Z

Okay, I rechecked the .ssh/config because I have made changes before. Now:

.ssh/config

Now the hostname is correctly picked. The weird thing now is that authentication fails because the server is receiving the auth with the user 'rpi' instead of just 'pi':

The sftp.json takes higher priority.

Ups, sorry for that one. Now is working. Thanks!

Do you know when the fix will be available in the release version?

V1.7.6 is released.
