sftpman's Issues

Use configured sshconf host

If I have my host and ssh options already defined in sshconf, I should be able to just use that config and not have to redefine everything.

FTP support

What do you think of adding FTP support using curlftpfs? One could create a copy of sftpman (name it ftpman) and just substitute sshfs commands with curlftpfs but that's just silly.

One can solve it it two ways:

1. Add protocol option to config file of sftpman to specify if you want to mount using ftp or sftp (easier way)
2. Extract code base from sftpman that manages the mounted servers and name it "mounting engine". Then different implementations for different protocols (sftpman, ftpman) use the mounting engine but specifiy their unique commands to mount/unmount and parsing of their config files. (harder but better)

is it possible to connect through a gateway ?

the same way you can do it with the following command:
ssh -C [email protected] -t ssh [email protected]

Usernames with underscore are not allowed

It's not uncommon for usernames to contain an underscore character, but sftpman refuses them and throws the error : « Usernames can only contain letters, at signs and digits. »

Edit : I user sftpman-gtk, so I'm not sure if this applies to gtk only.

--mount_opt not working

Values provided via --mount_opt are not present in the resulting json config file.

allow more characters in machine ids

Hi,
Any reason why machine ids need to be alphanumeric? For example, it seems reasonable to have ids name "user@remote" (in case of multiple users on a system).
The only restriction that seems necessary is no-slash and no null-byte (so that /mnt/sshfs/$machine-id stays a valid path (and even then I guess the slash could be allowed, it's just whether you want to bother supporting it...)).
Thanks.

ssh-agent authentication not supported

If auth_method is set to publickey sftpman forces the user to specify a path to any ssh_key.
As ssh-agent is used it's not possible to tell this path.
sshfs/ssh are working out of the box with ssh-agent if no "-i identity_file" is given.

Make `sftpman ls` show all available drives by default

sftpman/sftpman/cli.py

Line 128 in 8422477

def command_ls(self, list_what):

The fix for this is trivial: just have list_what = 'available'.

This issue can be dismissed on the grounds of aesthetic judgment.

Ability to change mount_path_base by configuration

It would be great if the mount path (currently fixed /mnt/sshfs) were configurable by the user.

Edit: Ah, just noticed it's under Known limitations. Well, let's keep this issue for better reference and discussion then.

Usernames cannot contain "@"

My school gives us the ability to access a personal home folder over ssh. Our username is the same for every school service, and looks like "[email protected]".

Both sftpman and sftpman-gtk will refuse this string because it contains an "@":
- user / Usernames can only contain letters and digits.
