SSH tunneling

[eripa]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the new Upload action to upload via SFTP. I have a series of SSH hops via ssh-config. Unfortunately Hazel seem to ignore my SSH config resulting in "Domain name not found" when trying use my SSH aliases.

Any hope for future support? Thanks a lot for an awesome app!

Hazel uses DNS to resolve names. Can you give me examples of what you are doing? Are you actually using SFTP or using some other protocol over an SSH tunnel?

Hi,
sorry about the late reply.

Maybe SSH hopping is a better name than tunneling..

I have this in my .ssh/config

Host my_hazel_machine_external
HostName my_hazel_machine
ProxyCommand ssh external.my_domain.com exec nc %h %p


Then I can simply use "ssh my_hazel_machine_external" in one step to connect to a machine behind my external SSH server at external.my_domain.com. Unfortunately when trying to use "my_hazel_machine_external" as the hostname in Hazel I get "Domain name not found".

The error is explained by SFTP in Hazel using DNS only for resolving, but usually SSH/SFTP solutions supports host aliases configured in the ssh config.

Thanks a lot,
Eric

I see. I'll have to look into this aliasing and see if it's appropriate to include in a future release.
