[Bug 1452775] [NEW] Nautilus mixes up SSH handles of multiple connections to identical IP using different ports
Public bug reported:
When connecting to one given IP on SSH multiple times using custom
ports, e.g.
127.0.0.1:22062 and
127.0.0.1:22064
and browsing them interchangeably, Nautilus will display the respective
file lists and folder structures correctly in different tabs; however,
when trying to open a file that exists in the file system at 22062 but
not in 22064 Nautilus will report any file as missing within a correctly
displayed folder on machine 22062 that does not exist at 22064 once one
has accessed 22064 a single time before. In case the file does exist,
Nautilus might display and later on write to either version (did not
grasp the pattern yet) which leads to serious mess working on two
different machines behind a common NAP using port masquerading as in
stated scenario
This bug is persistent throughout an entire unity session even after
disconnecting from the remote machine as well as after terminating
Nautilus so i suggest the bug might as well be based somewhere outside
Nautilus where SSH connections are stacked or something.
Might as well be security-related in case something is written to a
place it shouldn't end up.
