 |
|
Hi,
is there a reason why with gentoo (not sure if that is just a problem of my setup?) the sftp autocompletion won't work? Is there a fix?
Thx!

| In case you don't find an answer you could use lftp as a sftp client. |

If so, you could open a new bug for that missing feature. |

Once you have the solution it would be nice to have it in the wiki article. |

chi86 ... not being a bash user I can only guess ... does 'eselect bashcomp list' show an s{sh,ftp} completion, and is it enabled?
See this discussion on the subject.

I had to install bash-completion first and than by executing:
| Code: | | select bashcomp list | grep ftp |
I get:
| Code: | [354] lftp *
[355] lftpget *
[462] ncftp *
[637] sftp *
|
So thats not it! |

chi86 ... just to be sure, you did restart the shell after installing bash-completion?

chi86 ... you mean completion in general, or sftp only? Is the system wide bashrc being sourced?
| Code: | | $ env -i bash -l --norc |

... as I said, I'm not a bash user ... zsh has the short -l, obviously bash doesn't. The above is to test if the issue is a result of something in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile.

I tried that and it can log in without any problems (as normal and super user)!
BTW thanks for your help. It is greatly appreciated! |

I solved the issue!
The libedit flag had to be added to net-misc/openssh:
/etc/portage/package.use:
| Code: | # required for auto completion (tab) sftp
>=net-misc/openssh-6.9_p1-r2 libedit
|
and after re-emerging openssh the tab completion worked for sftp!!! |
