Here's an issue reported to us by a customer - The bottom line is RSE doesn't work properly with multiple SSH connections on the same host. How to reproduce : Step 1: ------ Create 2 SSH connections using Remote Systems view: Connection #1: HOST_A with user1 Connection #2: HOST_A with user2 make sure you save user id+password when connecting. Step 2: ------ Create a project and add a folder which is linked to a remote folder on Conncetion #1. Should create OK. Step 3: ------ Create another folder and link it to a remote folder on Connection#2 ERROR- It won't let you. Workaround : Disconnect Connection #1 and then you will be able to link it.
This is not a critical issue since no UI lock-up or loss of data is involved. It is a missing feature, which is properly flagged by RSE. There is even a workaround available, see below --> Changing severity to NORMAL. In fact the problem has been reported before, see bug 205455 and bug 186315. The workaround is to use a different form of host address for the second connection, e.g. use IP address for connection A (port A) and DNS hostname for connection B (port B). Bug 193858 is also related, though it was decided that the RSE Tempfiles cache is deliberately shared between multiple connections to the same host. API has been added with bug 195285, allowing to map different tempfiles mount paths per connection. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 186315 ***
