SFTP & 1Password

[Robert-M-Muench]

Is there any way how I can add an SFTP connection that uses the 1Password SHH agent? I have to enter a password or select a key file.

However, NC should follow the standard login methods configured in the OS, which it doesn't seem to do.

Right now it's not supported.
However the library NC uses under the hood can use SSH agents, so it's possible to add this functionality.
PRs are welcome :)

That would be great... and yes, I know PRs are welcome, and I would like to do it, but I don't see a chance to get deep enough into the project.

I second this feature as I also use 1Password to manage SSH keys. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer so I wouldn't even know where to begin to attempt to implement this for the community :(

@criticaldistance If you'd like to get involved there's plenty of ways beyond writing code, the contributing guide is a good place to start.

@mikekazakov happy to help in any way that I can. Thanks for linking me to that guide. I don't want to get off topic, but I have a couple other questions about features I've ran across that seem inconsistent, what would be the best way to inquire about those? Create a discussion thread or an issue?

[mikekazakov]

A discussion should be perfectly fine.
