Settings

Setup service connect parameter

open command palette and select SSH-Panel: Edit Settings command to edit settings file

parameter description:

root:

• default_connect_settings All links use default parameter values
• server_settings Specify preferences for connections
• debug_mode Debug enable switch

path:

• remote_path The path on the remote host. You can use the environment variable of the remote host ,like "$HOME" or "%userprofile%"
• local_path Local directory for synchronization,if empty will automatically generated in the user's home directory.can use the local environment variable

connect and authentication:

• network_timeout The number of timeout seconds used to authenticate and connect to the remote host
• port SSH service port of remote host
• known_hosts_file know_hosts file path at local,if filled it will be used to check the known host fingerprint and If an unknown host is found, a warning will be issued to confirm the host fingerprint(use sha256)
• username user name on remote host
• hostname remote host IP address or domain name

if your server uses password authentication,option is:

• password password plaintext
• save_password save password plaintext in settings file,if is false the password will be deleted in the settings after connecting

if your server uses private and public key authentication,option is:

• private_key used to set the encryption method and private key path when logged in to the server with the key

 key algorithm available "RSAKey","DSSKey","ECDSAKey","Ed25519Key"
 The value is a list of 2 elements like [{RSAKey/DSSKey/ECDSAKey/Ed25519Key},{private key path}]
 !! if you sublime version < 4000 the command to generate the key must contain the [-m PEM] parameter or use a tool to convert the existing private key file format

• "need_passphrase" tells the plug-in whether a passphrase is set when generating a key pair, value is bool

if your server uses gssapi authentication,option is:

• gss_host remote host IP address or domain name,if used, the hostname option is not used
• gss_auth enable gss authentication ,valus is bool
• gss_kex enable gss kex,valus is bool
• gss_deleg_creds gss deleg creds

Example

"server_settings":{
		// use password and username connect
		"MyServer0":{
			"username":"",
			"hostname":"", // ip or domain name
			"password":"", // if empty will prompt intput when connect
			"save_password":false, // (optional) default is true
			// ...
		},
		// use username and [private key] connect
		"MyServer1":{
			"username":"",
			"hostname":"",
			"private_key":["RSAKey","~/.ssh/id_rsa"],			// ssh-keygen -t rsa [-m PEM]
			// "private_key":["DSSKey","~/.ssh/id_dsa"]			// ssh-keygen -t dsa [-m PEM]
			// "private_key":["ECDSAKey","~/.ssh/id_ecdsa"]		// ssh-keygen -t ecdsa [-m PEM]
			// "private_key":["Ed25519Key","~/.ssh/id_ed25519"] // ssh-keygen -t ed25519 [-m PEM]
			"need_passphrase":false								// (optional) default is false, if is true will prompt intput when connect
			// ...
		},
		// use gssapi connect
		"MyServer2":{
			"username":"",
			"gss_host":"",
			"gss_auth":true,
			"gss_kex":true,
			"gss_deleg_creds":true
			// ...
		},
		// ...
	},
