I am getting this exception when trying to connect to sftp. Is there a way to resolve this issue?

[sveale]

What kind of directory have you specified? Is it a true directory or a link?

[movence]

it is a true directory

[movence]

I have updated to v1.8.4 but get the same error. Any clues?

[sveale]

From the stack trace it seems like you're trying to use a private key as authentication, but the key you've specified is infact a directory. Is this correct?

[movence]

I'm using ssh-agent to forward a private key when connecting to the remote server, and the connection is a gateway connection though ProxyCommand with ssh config file.

As I connect to the server with the Host that is configured in the ssh config file, I have assumed that I could just specify the Host and user to connect. The package has been upgraded to v.1.8.10, and I am sure how to see the stack trace.

As I connect to the server with the Host that is configured in the ssh config file, I have assumed that I could just specify the Host and user to connect.

Is that even possible? I'd say that ~/.ssh/config is ignored by all of the node.js ssh modules, right?

That said, I'm also looking for a remote-edit/sync package that supports the equivalent of "ProxyCommand" one way or another...

[brevilo]

Update! Since remote-sync seems to use ssh2 for SSH connections, one you could implement ProxyCommand-like connection hopping like this 👍
