[RESOLVED] 2021.3 breaks my deployment server settings

I have my deployment server settings set for SFTP and being authenticated using SSH key pair with saved passphrase.

This works perfectly in 2021.2.3. selecting the "Deployment->Sync with Deployed To..." option connects to the remote server and allows me to manage my updates nicely.

After installing the 2021.3 update I can't get PhpStorm to connect to the remote server without needing me to enter the login password. The previous settings all look correct so I have no idea why they're not working. Rolling back to 2021.2.3 the settings work again.

I know there were changes to deployment in 2021.3 but wouldn't expect that to break my SSH configuration.

I am having the exact same problem with Webstorm.  My remote debug is now complete broken.  Works perfectly on 2021.2.3.  When i try to launch a remote debug session WebStorm tries to sync endlessly.  Please help

Almost same issues, but can't connect at all, tried different SSH Configurations, no luck connecting. Rolled back - no issues.

So far, I don't see similar reports on our bug tracker.
It makes little sense to report bugs on the community forum - the chances are, you are having different issues and they have to be investigated separately, with logs and stuff. For instance, there was https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-283804, it's been fixed and the fix made its way into PhpStorm 2021.3, but didn't into WebStorm 2021.3.

Please add #com.jetbrains.plugins.webDeployment and #com.intellij.ssh to Help | Diagnostic Tools | Debug Log Settings, try to connect to SFTP and SSH again, and then share the logs (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data) in a support ticket (Help | Contact Support).

"It makes little sense to report bugs on the community forum..."

What is a community forum for, if not for seeking assistance when you run into an issue you can't resolve?

Thank you for providing information on how to report an issue on bug tracker. I'm not certain it is really a bug as I may just need to modify my SSH configuration, but perhaps that would be a better way to get the assistance I need.

I have this problem resolved.

Turned out it was due to the format of the RSA key file no longer working in 2021.3. Fixed using a workaround to convert the key format as described in this issue: IDEA-284623.
