Enhanced ssh server configuration

Hi Aleksander

I probably did not make myself very clear.

It would be nice to be able to define a path of ssh servers to reach the final server where the code needs to be placed on upload. This sort of need is getting very common these days as live and test servers are  placed behind jump servers for extra security or as a way of getting into load balanced servers.

DBeaver has a very nice example of configuring a multiple ssh servers that produce a path to the final needed server. Just to be clear I am using the ssh config in DBeaver as an example.

It would be great if PhpStorm had similar capabilities in the ssh configuration, at the moment only one server can be configured, not a string of them.

J Blundell ,

Have you got a change to take a closer look to SSH Configuration? At the moment IDE supports OpenSSH configs along with Proxy set up. 

I hope it would cover all your needs. 

Hi vasily chernov 

What I am talking about is the ability to ssh through a chain of jump servers of arbitrary length.

Here is how DBeaver does it, its very useful.

Note you have the final server at the top with 1 or more jump servers to reach the final server.

Securing the main servers behind a jump server is not unusual these days and it would be good to be able to define the path.

I see, DBeaver allows to configure it via UI. 

DataGrip and all JetBrains IDEs rely on ssh config as it described here https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SSH_jump_host

As a basic example of configuration file (~/.ssh/config):

Host remoteserver
  HostName 192.168.201.200
  User dev
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/<your_key>
  Port 2048

  ## sample for ProxyJump
  ProxyJump user@<jumpserver>

  ## sample for ProxyCommand
  ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p <jumpserver>

Hi

Thanks for all the workarounds, I shall add them to my workarounds.

Would have liked solutions within phpStorm but it's obviously not a priority.

Yes, it's a bit more complicated and more configuration-as-a-code style.
