parameter description:

root:

• default_connect_settings All connect use default parameter values
• server_settings Specify preferences for connections
• debug_mode Debug enable switch
• style_css Custom CSS Style,value is sublime resource,default is Packages/SSH-Panel/style.css see details
• new_window open new window when connect
• quiet_log the pop-up message panel is not displayed immediately when a message is obtained
• reconnect_on_start whether to automatically open the last closed connection when starting sublime text
• nav_bar_color_change change color of the directory panel,value range is -16777215~+16777215(-0xffffff~+0xffffff) type is string,this value will be added with the RGB color of the current view background to get a new RGB color > if you not want to change the background color value can be set to “0” ### path:
• remote_path The path on the remote host. You can use the environment variable of the remote host ,like “$HOME” or “%userprofile%”,value is path name or path list > Each remote root path will be mapped to the subdirectory of local_path. The subdirectory name is the summary string generated by the path name
• local_path Local directory for synchronization,if empty will automatically generated in the user's home directory.can use the local environment variable

string "{auto_generate}" will be replaced with the UUID string generated from configuration and timestamp to generate a unique UUID path
After the first connection, this path will be save to the user configuration and using at next connection

connect and authentication:

• network_timeout The number of timeout seconds used to authenticate and connect to the remote host
• port SSH service port of remote host,default is 22
• known_hosts_file know_hosts file path at local,if filled it will: > use the host key algorithm recorded in known_hosts_file when connecting > if host not recorded in known_hosts_file, confirm whether to add and save the host public_key when connecting > warn and force close connect when public_key obtained from remote host not matches public_key recorded in known_host_file
• username user name on remote host
• hostname remote host IP address or domain name
• always_fingerprint_confirm confirm server fingerprint every time,if known_hosts_file is set wile use AA to verify the host fingerprint #### if your server uses password authentication,option is:
• password password plaintext
• save_password save password plaintext in settings file,if is false the password will be deleted in the settings after connecting #### if your server uses private and public_key authentication,option is:
• private_key used to set the encryption method and private key path when logged in to the server with the key

key algorithm available "RSAKey","DSSKey","ECDSAKey","Ed25519Key"
 The value is a list of 2 elements like [{RSAKey/DSSKey/ECDSAKey/Ed25519Key},{private key path}]
 !! if you sublime version < 4000 the command to generate the key must contain the [-m PEM] parameter or use a tool to convert the existing private key file format

• "need_passphrase" tells the plug-in whether a passphrase is set when generating a key pair, value is bool #### if your server uses gssapi authentication,option is:
• gss_host remote host IP address or domain name,if used, the hostname option is not used
• gss_auth enable gss authentication ,valus is bool
• gss_kex enable gss kex,valus is bool
• gss_deleg_creds gss deleg creds
• gss_trust_dns gss trust dns

Example

"server_settings":{
        // use password and username connect
        "MyServer0":{
            "username":"",
            "hostname":"", // ip or domain name
            "password":"", // if empty will prompt intput when connect
            "save_password":false, // (optional) default is true
            // ...
        },
        // use username and [private key] connect
        "MyServer1":{
            "username":"",
            "hostname":"",
            "private_key":["RSAKey","~/.ssh/id_rsa"],            // ssh-keygen -t rsa [-m PEM]
            // "private_key":["DSSKey","~/.ssh/id_dsa"]            // ssh-keygen -t dsa [-m PEM]
            // "private_key":["ECDSAKey","~/.ssh/id_ecdsa"]        // ssh-keygen -t ecdsa [-m PEM]
            // "private_key":["Ed25519Key","~/.ssh/id_ed25519"] // ssh-keygen -t ed25519 [-m PEM]
            "need_passphrase":false                                // (optional) default is false, if is true will prompt intput when connect
            // path
            "remote_path":"/", // absolute path
            // "remote_path":["/var","/etc"], // path list

            // ...
        },
        // use gssapi connect
        "MyServer2":{
            "username":"",
            "gss_host":"",
            "gss_auth":true,
            "gss_kex":true,
