Wow, really nice!!! Someone opens an issue, simply ignore it until the bot closes it!!!!

@farzadmf then implement yourself. Everybody can contribute to the project, not just me. If nobody has ever opened a PR it means that there's no interest in it. Just for the record then, it's not supported by the ssh2-rs lib as far as I know. I want also to remind you that I don't get paid for this.

Yeah, sorry @veeso ; you're right; I was a bit tired trying different things and see them not working because of this feature. I apologize.

Unfortunately, at least for now, I just needed something to work with my setup, without me needing to invest on it (of course, it doesn't help that I'm not super efficient with Rust).

I was so happy to find this, and then I realized it doesn't work with my setup, hence the message. I apologize again, and I just did what I hate other people doing, sorry!

@veeso hey, thanks for letting us know. I got it working with proxychains for my use case. Might give that a try @farzadmf

[farzadmf]

@slax-creator Interesting! How did you do it?

I have this in my config (termscp's config has set to its path):

Host myhost
  HostName <the-actual-host-name>
  User farzadmf
  ProxyCommand=<proxy-command> %h
	ControlPath <control-masters>-%C
	ControlMaster auto
	ControlPersist 30m
  ServerAliveInterval 15
  ServerAliveCountMax 44
  RemoteForward [localhost]:<local-port> [localhost]:<local-port>

And when I do termscp myhost, it's giving me an error saying

IO error (Could not parse configuration file: expected port number)

@farzadmf so I use wsl2 on my windows laptop at work. I don't think I have changed anything in my termscp config other than point it to my .ssh/config (which honestly I don't think it uses anything from that).

I also run cntlm proxy in wsl2 to access our corporate proxy through which I can access some systems - cntlm proxy listens on port 3128.

Then in my /etc/proxychains.conf I have:
http 127.0.0.1 3128
Dns 1.2.3.4 (whatever your DNS server is)

And then I just do: proxychains termscp

I can't get DNS to resolve though, so I just use IPs for the systems I need to access behind that proxy - but it works just fine for me.

Hope that helps.
