Bug ID: 502413
Summary: konqueror should re-use sftp connections (prevent ip
ban by CSF/LFD)
Classification: Applications
Product: konqueror
Version: 24.04.80
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: konq-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kdeb...@insaner.com
Target Milestone: ---
Restoring a session with multiple sftp connections to the same host leads to an
IP ban by CSF/LFD.
This is due to the fact that apparently (probably?) an sftp connection on
konqueror attempts a passwordless connection, and *then* it prompts for the
password/passkey.. but registering that first one as a failed attempt, and if
you have more sftp connections attempted than the server's limit (I think the
default is 5) your ip gets banned. konqueror should therefore re-use the first
established sftp connection (and only attempt one at a time) instead of trying
a new one for each view.
Another related issue is that this then often causes the kio_sftp socket used
by konq to not work anymore, and the workaround I have found is to launch
dolphin (which seems unaffected by the frozen kio socket) and attempt the sftp
connection there, and then it "magically" works in konqueror.
Killing the
> /usr/libexec/kf5/kioslave5 /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/kf5/kio/sftp.so sftp
processes does not seem to work either. But I think I had luck once killing the
> /usr/libexec/kf5/kiod5
process after killing all the sftp kioslave processes. But I'm not sure if it
was due to special circumstances or what. In case that is useful information.
