ssh milestone

[ghost]

is there a milestone for geany-plugin-remote-ssh somewhere ?
something alike remote-ssh on atom or vscode?

[codebrainz]

I believe SSH support is already provided through GVFS. Not sure if that's what you mean?

[ghost]

what is gvfs? it is not listed in geany plugins.

[codebrainz]

See here.

It allows you to mount remote file systems, which to Geany just appear like any other file system. You could probably also just use SSHFS directly to mount a remote directory, which would also just appear to Geany as any other file system.

is there any geany-gvfs tutorial ?

[elextr]

To be clear, geany only accesses the local filesystem, if you use any method to make a remote filesystem appear as if local Geany can access it. But the functionality to mount remote filesystems as local is not part of Geany, its part of your operating system.

[ghost]

so - essentially - there is no remote mounting as you have it in vscode/atom ?

[luiseduardo]

for SSHFS(Ssh File System) i use gui Sftpman-gtk, in this you mount your ssh remote point in a local disk.

[codebrainz]

The popular Linux desktop environments (and if I'm not mistaken Win32 and Macos) usually include the ability to mount remote (and other) filesystems from the file manager application, as well.

Seems a little redundant for Geany to implement something already provided by the underlying OS/DE.

[elextr]

I guess if somebody wants to make a plugin that does the mounts thats fine too.

Also this and this started some additional built-in capability but have not been merged, possibly because no committer has the configuration to test it and nobody else posted testing results.
