Does Core Shell can use ~/.ssh/config

Hi,

I want to ask is the Core Shell currently support to use ~/.ssh/config? If so, how can I use it? Thanks.

Yes, please follow this guide:

Use system default `ssh_config` and `known_hosts` configuration

By default, Core Tunnel uses configuration files in its own container folder: # known_hosts ~/Library/Group Containers/E78WKS7W4U.io.coressh.ssh/.ssh/known_hosts # ssh_config ~/Library/Group Containers/E78WKS7W4U.io.coressh.ssh/.ssh/config This works very well in most of cases. But if you have a lengthy ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh/ssh_config, or have StrictHostKeyChecking set to yes and use ~/.ssh/known_hosts, /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts as the only source data trusted host keys, you may want to u…

Thanks, I changed the two options to "System." But, the hosts that I added in the "~/.ssh/config" before didn't show up in the "Hosts" list. I'm using Core Shell, and there is no "install helper" pop-up during the process.

Core Shell can not list your host names in ~/.ssh/config automatically, but it can use the directives configured. Take an example, if you have a host in configuration file:

Host server1
     HostName server1.cyberciti.biz
     User nixcraft
     Port 4242
     IdentityFile /nfs/shared/users/nixcraft/keys/server1/id_rsa

Then you can simply create a host like this:

Every matched directives in the configuration will take effect on connection, you are not need to configure directives in Core Shell.

In summarize, you have to create a host in Core Shell but no need to configure it again.

Thanks, solved. After I enter the "Host" and "User", it works.
