Description Matej Cepl 2023-01-30 08:45:16 UTC 
I have in ~/.ssh/config this alias:

    Host fedorapeople fedorapeople.org 
        User mcepl
        Hostname fedorapeople.org
        ProxyCommand none
        ForwardAgent no
        ForwardX11 no
        ForwardX11Trusted no
        Port 22
        KeepAlive yes
        HashKnownHosts no
        GSSAPIAuthentication no
        VerifyHostKeyDNS yes
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_fedora_rsa

Works perfectly fine with the plain ssh:

    stitny~$ ssh fedorapeople.org ls -l
    Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
    X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

    stitny~$ ssh fedorapeople.org id
    Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

    uid=1494200431(mcepl) gid=1494200431(mcepl) skupiny=1494200431(mcepl),1494357691(signed_fpca),1494357692(fedora-contributor),1494357860(fedorabugs),1494357925(gitbugzilla-triage-scripts),1494358200(gitjson_diff),1494358540(gittriage),1494358698(packager),1494358938(triagers) kontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
    stitny~$ 

However, when I try to switch (Alt+C) to sftp://fedorapeople.org I get an input box asking for the password (which doesn’t exist).
