~/.ssh/config not found

[apj68]

Do you read the FAQ?

• [X] Yes.
• [ ] I am going to read now.

Describe the bug When I first installed and attempted to use vscode-sftp I received an error: "/.ssh/config not found". I thought to myself, "OH! Cool, let me create that." So I created that file but now it doesn't seem to look for it. I get this error:

"connectTimeout":10000,"interactiveAuth":false,"secure":false,"remoteTimeOffsetInHours":0,"name":"2133","host":"cskpcloudxn2133.cloud.kp.org","port":22,"username":"******"}

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install and configure vscode-sftp for a specific host
2. Choose a file and sftp: active file
3. See first error "/.ssh/config not found"
4. Create "/.ssh/config not found" with configuration information for specific host in step #1
5. Run sftp: active file and see second error

Expected behavior I expect the vscode-sftp to use the .vscode/sftp.json file to work with the <home>/.ssh/config file to seamlessly upload the file to the designated server.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• VSCode Version 1.40.1
• Extension Version 1.12.9

If I subsequently remove the <home>/.ssh/config file I still get the same error but this is the last line in the log file:

[11-19 10:32:45] [warn] ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\O386600\.ssh\config' load C:\Users\O386600\.ssh\config failed

Hence, I get an error either way.

The warning also appears with me under Windows 10. But the SFTP commands are mostly executed anyway. I simply created the .ssh directory manually. But it is empty. [12-23 10:41:01] [warn] ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\<username>\.ssh\config' load C:\Users\<username>\.ssh\config failed

I have the same issue! I use Fedora 31.

Re: I don't remember what I changed - but it's resolved. So I guess it's resolvable from the user side at the very least.

I faced the same issue. It disappeared by re-installing the sftp extension.

[oneilonline]

I tried reinstalling sftp ext, creating the .ssh directory and blank config file, still same issue. Windows 10 / VSCode 1.48.2 / SFTP 1.12.9

[evrend]

I have the same problem with Windows 10 / VSCode 1.48.2 / SFTP 1.12.9. like @oneilonline. I think, the problem related with hdd driver letter uppercase/lowercase sensivity. It must be uppercase but the path(config file) is containing lowercase driver name. I don't know how can i solve this case sensivity problem? I need help.

Edit: I tried re-installing plugin but not solved.

[lingzyuan]

Same issue here. Windows 10 Enterprise, VSCode 1.52.1 sftp 1.12.9

Found info in another issue: https://github.com/liximomo/vscode-sftp/issues/742

Solved my problem. Here's the translation: Add "profiles": {} in sftp config file.

Can't you fix the plugin?! 2 months ago there were no such problems with SFTP!

This is working for me, Thanks @lingzyuan

Did I do the right thing? The error still remains!

Yeah, like that. I just added "profiles": {} Have you seen a clue or information from the terminal after saving the file then reconnect?

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE , IDK HOW TO FIX IT

[mnlx]

I had the same issue, then I found out it was a cache issue with my vscode remote config in my local machine. I was searching in the remote machine.

I moved the foder to a *.bkp like the following:

Then I restarted vscode and was able to connect.

** I don't use sftp, but I believe its the same principal

[wdburgdorf]

Same thing here, the suggested solutions did not work for me. Up-/downloading a file works fine, but not folder. EDIT: I see this error message:

[02-06 20:48:03] [warn] ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/lausianne/.ssh/config' load /home/lausianne/.ssh/config failed

/home/lausianne/.ssh/ is indeed the wrong path. But how can I set the correct one?

EDIT2: Eventually I figured it out: I needed "context": "." in the config file. Seems quite essential to me, but is not in the sample config file. It would have made it easier for me to get started if it was ... Thanks!
