SFTP only Configuration - Natizyskunk/vscode-sftp GitHub Wiki

agent

Path to ssh-agent's UNIX socket for ssh-agent-based user authentication. Windows users must set to 'pageant' for authenticating with Pagenat or (actual) path to a Cygwin "UNIX socket". It'd get more stability because some client/server have some sort of configured/hard coded limit.

Key	Value
agent	string

{
  "agent": "/_subfolder_/agent"
}

privateKeyPath

Absolute path to user private key.

Key	Value
privateKeyPath	string

{
  "privateKeyPath": "/.ssh/key.pem"
}

passphrase

For an encrypted private key, this is the passphrase string used to decrypt it. Set to 'true' for enable passphrase dialog. This will prevent from using cleartext passphrase in this config.

Key	Value
passphrase	mixed

{
  "passphrase": true
}

interactiveAuth

Enable keyboard interaction authentication mechanism. Set to 'true' to enable verifyCode dialog. For example using Google Authentication (multi-factor). Or pass array of predefined phrases to automatically enter them without user prompting.

💡 Note
Requires the server to have keyboard-interactive authentication enabled.

Key	Value	Default
interactiveAuth	boolean|string[]	'false'

{
  "interactiveAuth": true
}

algorithms

Explicit overrides for the default transport layer algorithms used for the connection.
