Description Eric 2017-07-03 00:51:38 UTC
Description:
Unable to successfully add a remote file service for a SSH server.  I can successfully access the remote server outside of Libre Office using SSH (via WinSCP) so I know that the server is accessible using the credentials I supply.  Server is Linux based.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select the "Save to Remote Server" menu option.
2.In the pop-up dialog box click the "Add Service" combo box list item.
3.In the File Services pop-up dialog box select "SSH"
4.Enter the parameter values Host (used IP address), Port, User, Password, Label and Root Directory.


Actual Results:  
Save button for Libre Office document etc is greyed out

Expected Results:
Should have been able to access server and save file.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
[Information automatically included from LibreOffice]
Locale: en-GB
Module: DrawingDocument
OS: Windows (All)  (Windows 7)
OS is 64bit: no  (Actually Yes)

The remote file option didn't work last year either - how has it been tested?
The "Edit Service" button isn't helpful as it only allows the user to edit the username and password, not the other connection parameters!

5.2 branch is EOL (End of life), could you give a try to last stable LO version 5.3.4?
Comment 2 Eric 2017-07-03 10:11:06 UTC
Julien,

Can connect to Google Drive and save file.  Definitely improved in 5.3.4, however once the file is saved, trying to close the document in Libre Office seems to lock up Libre Office for a long period - can't close either Libre Office or the open document. 

Still have greyed-out buttons etc when trying to setup SSH access to a server.  Unable to save to the SSH server (Using IP address rather than DNS name).

The Edit dialog needs changes - one should be able to edit all the parameters of the connection, not just two of them.  Basically if the connection doesn't work, the only option currently is to delete and recreate the connection.

Thank you for your feedback.
I could reproduce this with LO 5.3.4 on Win7.

Although bug 98723 talks about not being able to "connect", while this one talks about "adding the service", they are nearly one and the same. No point in adding a service that won't work anyway.
