sftp: Add "PermitLocalCommand no" to the OpenSSH commandline (1.12 KB, patch)

Description wincus 2011-01-15 14:08:12 UTC 
I use screen in my everyday work. As I want the screen title to dynamically show the host I've sshed to I have added this lines to my ssh config file:

Host *
        LocalCommand echo -ne '\ek%n\e\\'

Unfortunately since I've made that change nautilus is not able to access any sftp site. I guess nautilus is confused by the localcommand configuration.

I would expect Nautilus to ignore that kind of setting as they are intended to terminals only.

sftp: Add "PermitLocalCommand no" to the OpenSSH commandline

Add "PermitLocalCommand no" to the OpenSSH commandline to prevent
user-configured commands running and interfering with the sftp session.
This is what the OpenSSH sftp client does.
