Parsing SSH config + identity files

[mausch]

Hi, I noticed that https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/77 / https://github.com/veeso/termscp/pull/84 implemented parsing a SSH config.

I built master and then I added the following to my termscp config but nothing seems to happen?

[remote]
ssh_config = "/etc/ssh/ssh_config"

That file has a Host section so I was expecting to see that host as a bookmark in termscp, maybe I'm misunderstanding what was implemented?

Also my ssh_config has a IdentityFile directive for the Host section so I was hoping to use this to avoid having to "import" the SSH key into termscp manually, but it seems https://github.com/veeso/ssh2-config doesn't support IdentityFile? It seems to support pretty much everything else so maybe there's a reason for this?

In the end I'd love it if I could just run termscp my_host and have termscp read all config from my ssh config file.

Hi,

the PR has been merged but hasn't been released yet. It has been merged into the 0.8.0 branch. The 0.8.0 version will be released in a few weeks I hope.

Also my ssh_config has a IdentityFile directive for the Host section so I was hoping to use this to avoid having to "import" the SSH key into termscp manually, but it seems https://github.com/veeso/ssh2-config doesn't support IdentityFile? It seems to support pretty much everything else so maybe there's a reason for this?

I'll add the identity file parameter to ssh-config, actually, I forgot about it. Thanks for reporting it!

In the end I'd love it if I could just run termscp my_host and have termscp read all config from my ssh config file.

For the last point, that's exactly how it'll work.

Hi, how can I specify which configured host (saved in the config file) I can connect to ?

Because termscp myhost1 still asks for a password and does not use my SSH key.

@shellwhale you have to specify the -b option which considers the argument as a bookmark
