Hostname invalid about sshs HOT 15 CLOSED

Thank You for the time for me !

If I found solution, I post here.

from sshs.

Hey! Which version of ssh are you using and on which operating system? ssh -V

from sshs.

Hello,

MacOs 14
SSh : OpenSSH_9.6p1, LibreSSL 3.3.6

from sshs.

You may have strange characters in the host name, maybe try to rewrite the name manually in your config file?

from sshs.

I think is not the problem.

sshs try connect to the "Host", not "hostName" in my config file.

A few time ago, I didn't have problem.

from sshs.

I try to rewrite manually but no change

from sshs.

sshs is supposed to work like that, connecting to the Host and not the Hostname so it can be handled by ssh. However we have the same OpenSSH version so I'm not really sure what wrong...

How are you calling sshs?

from sshs.

I call sshs by sshs -c ~/.ssh/config

In example here, the "Host" value is anything but the "hostName" is the fqdn of server.

from sshs.

I'm wondering, what is the real value of HostName for you ? You may have some strange characters that ssh is incompatible with.

from sshs.

Not strange charaters...

from sshs.

Do you have the same issue with 1.1.1.1? You can also try running ssh directly ssh "My Server".

This is a ssh-related issue, not sshs.

from sshs.

ssh 1.1.1.1 ok
ssh "My Server" don't work because it's a friendly name, not fqdn or ip server.

I think Host attribute is a friendly name and ssh connect to the hostName.

from sshs.

What I meant is try with this config literally :

Host "My Server"
  HostName 1.1.1.1
  User test
  Port 22

ssh "My Server" SHOULD work.

from sshs.

My config file is the same of you're and I've thos error :

ssh "My Server"                                                                                                                                                                                                    
hostname contains invalid characters

from sshs.

Seems like a known issue but I don't have the issue even though I'm on the same macOS and OpenSSH version as you.

I suggest discussing the issue in microsoft/vscode-remote-release#9370 as it's not a sshs issue.
