Hi,

I'm trying to make more use of ProxyJump in my ssh/sftp connections. I've been having a look through FreeFileSync but I can't figure out how to add these kind of details.

Does anyone know how/if it is possible please? If not, might it be an option for a new feature?

Many thanks in advance..

(Not that I know anything about it) but would setting (in the OS) /.ssh/config do what you need, such that FFS would simply so "go" & the config would handle the particulars?

Hello,
I have the same problem. Running Ubuntu 22.04. I have entered a ProxyCommand entry in my ~/.ssh/config file. If I use the "connect to server" within Nautilus file browser, I can reach my host normally. But when I enter it in the SFTP section of Freefilesync I get an error "Cannot determine final path for "sftp://myhost/~". Error code -2: Name or service not known [getaddrinfo]"
Any suggestions?

Feel a bit bad that i've not been able to do anything with this since I posted originally. Things took a awful downhill slide shortly thereafter..

I should have mentioned i'm running the client on Windows and connecting to a FreeBSD box. I imagine I could put some details in .ssh/config, but really need to give it a try and see if the Windows flavour of the client picks them up.

Thanks for the follow up.
Would be interested to see what freefilesync devs say, and fix this issue if possible.
