Problem description
I try to connect to remote server in one of two panels of Midnight Commander using SFTP link... submenu. Unfortunately, mc does not pass my ~/.ssh/config
file to sftp
. Therefore typing sftp://myhostalias
results in error message
Cannot chdir to "/sftp://myhostalias"
Here is a content of ~/.ssh/config
:
Host myhostalias
HostName server.url.domain
User myusername
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa-myhostalias
Please, note the following:
sftp://[email protected]
works fine followed by inputting my password. I guess, this should not work if password authentication is disabled.sftp myhostalias
from terminal also works fine.
Question
What way should I connect to the remote server from mc SFTP link... menu using the aliases from my current ssh config?
