Hello, this isn't a bug report I just want to document this in case anyone runs into it again. I got this error while trying to use upterm and Google wasn't any help.
ControlPath too long ('[...]@uptermd.upterm.dev:22' >= 104 bytes)
I got the error on multiple machines I own so I was pretty confused. It turns out that like 14 years ago I added this to my .ssh/config file and synced it across my devices:
Host *
ControlPath ~/.ssh/%l-%r@%h:%p
This directive shares one ssh connection between multiple invocations to ssh to the same host. It's actually pretty nice if you're doing a lot of invocations to scp in multiple terminals. Anyway turns out that there's a maximum length on that control path. Uh so if you get this error message that's what's going on.
