Description

Since updating to re mote-ftp 2.2.1, the keyboard shortcut (CTRL+ALT+C) to connect fails. I can connect normally by switching to the Remote tab and clicking on Connect.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create SFTP config file / use previously functioning one
2. Attempt to connect using keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+C

Expected behavior: Connection established successfully.

Actual behavior: Error thrown:

Remote FTP: Could not read .ftpconfig file.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\Matthew\.ssh\config'

Reproduces how often: 100% of the time when using keyboard shortcut, 0% when manually clicking the button.

Additional Information

Issue #1221 brings up a similar problem, but with a solution that did not work for me. I have no .ssh directory in my Users folder, let alone the known_hosts or config file.

That fixed my problem. I literally just made an empty file, it’s 0 bytes. Why is this required if it’s an empty file anyways?

It was just kind of annoying to make the file and folder, since Windows doesn’t let you name a folder as a .name, nor will it let you name things without a file extension. I had to use ren from command prompt to rename the files and folder accordingly.

the root cause of the issue is that it now requires you have an .ssh/config file when it didn’t previously care if you weren’t using rsa key. you can do anything that creates an .ssh/config file, touch it, rename another file, copy a file, etc. it doesn’t seem to matter what’s inside the file, just that it’s present
