I agree with Alvin. That old KDE bug (ECDSA and libssh) affected me for a long time but as soon as Kubuntu got libssh 0.6 (Saucy I think?) it was resolved. I'm running the same system that has simply been upgraded (not reset) and this behaviour has recently come back. I'm not sure if it was there on the shipped Plasma 5.2 as I did not test sftp until I installed the backports of 5.3. Has this affected other distributions with KDE 5 tech (OpenSuse?). If so maybe its time for an upstream bug report.
Is there a way to get more verbose information of what Dolphin is doing from the command line? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-runtime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450085 Title: kio_sftp can't connect to hosts after OpenSSH 6 has cached their ECDSA key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-runtime/+bug/1450085/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
