How do I see what's going on during SSH deploy connection attempt?

Hi there,

Is there some log to see what it's doing exactly, and where it's failing?

You can enable extra logging, and then check the general idea.log file ("Help | Show Log in XXX")

1. Add the following lines to the "Help > Diagnostic Tools > Debug Log Settings":

#com.jetbrains.plugins.webDeployment
#com.intellij.ssh

2. Do your activity

3. Check the log after that 

(Do not forget to remove those extra lines once you are done)
