Konsole SSH Connection Plugin - Storage location

Help
1

Hi Guys :slight_smile:

I just discovered that Konsole sports a SSH Connection Manager! Yay!

Can someone tell me where Konsole stores these connections? I’d like to symlink the config file to my other config files to sync it across devices.

Thanks!

I had to set it up to see where it put the config, but here it is.

~/.config/konsolesshconfig

I was able to find it easily by creating it then sort by modified or created.

Hi :slight_smile:

Thanks for your answer! I did check that file before I asked the question here. Sadly this file only stores the plugin config not the actual ssh connections themselves.

my file only contains:

[Global plugin config]
manageProfile=false

Nothing else…

Do you know where the connections get stored?

I look at the contents of the file and see

[Global plugin config]
manageProfile=false

[SSH Config][Deathstar]
hostname=deathstar
identifier=Deathstar
importedFromSshConfig=false
port=22
profileName=Don't Change
sshkey=/home/wilson/.ssh/id_rsa
useSshConfig=false
username=wilson

[SSH Config][Server]
hostname=server
identifier=Server
importedFromSshConfig=false
port=22
profileName=Don't Change
sshkey=/home/wilson/.ssh/id_rsa
useSshConfig=false
username=wilson

Of course this was after setting up the connections and making sure they worked. I already had them working by just typing them in and connecting with ssh keys authentication.

Thanks for your reply!

I looked into it again and found that the connections only get written to the file when Konsole is closed! Now everything works as expected!

Many thanks!
