[New Feature] - termscp doesn't use id_rsa default SSH private key to authenticate to SFTP / SCP endpoint

[pcgeek86]

Description

I would like termscp to use the id_rsa default SSH private key on my local filesystem.

Steps to reproduce

Try to connect to SFTP or SCP endpoint without using a password. Authentication fails.

Expected behaviour

By default, termscp should use $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa to authenticate as <username> at <hostname>.

Environment

• OS: [e.g. GNU/Linux Debian 10] MacOS
• Architecture [Arm, x86_64, ...] Intel
• Rust version
• termscp version 0.9.0
• Protocol used SFTP / SCP
• Remote server version and name

It should have already been fixed in 0.10. Duplicated of #123

Sorry I missed that one.

@veeso it somehow isn´t fixed for me even though i'm on the latest version, it keeps on asking me my password

I don't understand...... I can ssh to an host using my default id_rsa key like this: But, it failed on termscp, it said "bad address syntax": (termscp sftp://test-ubuntu failed too) However, I did set the ssh config path:

By the way, may I request a new feature, like key remapping? I prefer vim-like keymap.

I have the same issue, same repro, though a different error message.

My ssh config has more than host info in it - for example Protocol 2 at the top. This gives an error IO error (Could not parse configuration file: unknown field: Protocol).

Then, if I comment out everything in my config except the Host blocks and retry an scp connection with no user/pass, I get a different error: authentication failed (could not find any suitable RSA key to authenticate with).

(My ssh host does not permit key/pass entry, only ssh, so I'm unable to use termscp to connect because of this problem.)

[veeso]

definitely fixed in 0.11

[namespaceYcZ]

Did v0.11.0 solve your problem? It does not work for me.

[veeso]

Yes, 0.11.0 fixed this. At this point if it still doesn't work for you, please open another issue reporting your ssh configuration and the host parameters.
