Remote File SSH Type does not connect on Windows. It saves the connection but does not connect if you saved the password or not. It works on Ubuntu 15.10 and not working on Windows 7 A user reported the issue at #libreoffice support channel and I confirm it. How to reproduce: 1. Click remote files from the side bar 2. Chose add service and pick SSH 3. Fill the information of your SSH connection Nothing happens Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 6eb7cd38e348e8a9d6498bfc2d41e91725eb34aa CPU Threads: 1; OS Version: Windows 6.1; UI Render: default; TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2016-03-16_12:53:35 Locale: en-US (en_US)
Reproduced. I used the rebex read-only test server from here: http://www.sftp.net/public-online-sftp-servers I confirmed the test server works otherwise.

@Giuseppe: Can you dig into why this isnt working?
UPDATE: both me and Usama are now seeing "Nonexistent file" error when trying to access on Linux (to a verified working SFTP host). Arch Linux 64-bit, KDE Plasma 5 Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 4bf2b6b2e6641c82e2b714e394482f1a1620b436 CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8) Built on March 21st 2016
Checked on current pre-release, using OpenSSH on a local VM: Version: 5.2.0.1 Build ID: fcbcb4963bda8633ba72bd2108ca1e802aad557d CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Linux 3.13; UI Render: default; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8) On Ubuntu 14.04 64b was not reproducible using as SSH credentials name+password. On the same platform I got the "Not existent file" error reported on comment 3 when I enabled the ssh server to accept public keys as authentication device. On Windows 7 32b reproducible, in this case there is no lan activity towards the ssh server, probably internal problem platform specific. I'm going to investigate further in Windows. Will be a lengthy business...
Found the time to do some investigation.

Back to NEW, not sure was state this bug should assume.

I am still having this problem. Version: 5.4.2.2 Build ID: 22b09f6418e8c2d508a9eaf86b2399209b0990f4 CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-US (en_US.utf8); Calc: group
This is clearly platform-specific issue; this one had been reported against Windows; as indicated in comment 5, it's not implemented on Windows; so possibly it's an enhancement request to implement missing functionality (although I keep it bug, since it creates discrepancy in feature set between supported platforms). Similar problem on different platforms should be discussed in dedicated issues (be it macOS, or a Linux without Gnome, etc). Of course, one universal solution could be to re-implement this using some portable library.
