version: 0.9.11 / 10.4.4
feature request: addition of preferences option
problem: you want to connect to a host, which is on dynamic IP everytime (here every day) you connect to it.
situation: at setup time, after using the test button you get ask, if that fingerprint is ok and should be saved. if answered positive, all works as long as you're connect or as long as the IP hasn't changed.
pitfall: the next day you press the start button, but the connection doesn't work. why? the IP has changed, the fingerprint isn't the same. you wouldn't think of having to look for new fingerprints.
workaround: press every time the test button to see if the IP has changed, if so accepting the new fingerprint. now press the start button to get it going.
solution: might be a checkbox, which accepts changing IPs associated with dynamic host adresses. am i right, to guess that this could be accomplished with "-o CheckHostIP no"?
why?: basic users, which should just be able to connect to remote servers/drives and work with those, have no understanding of the technical side of computing. they just want to have it work. and easy. so setting this option as preferences (maybe after being prefaced with a warning of the consequences [man-in-the-middle attack]) would solve it sufficently.
thx. for considering this.
greetings,
s.Oliver
