Adding known host does not work for non standard ports

[pvginkel]

I'm using Gerrit which has SSH running on the non standard port 29418. Automatically adding a known host doesn't work in that instance. The command box that opens clearly connects to the default SSH port; not the non-standard one. Since they are using different SSH certificates, the wrong host is added. Instead plink should be run as plink -P 29418 host.

Oddly enough, a PR from 2014 claims to have that fixed - but it's still an issue in 2017.

Oh well, looks like the thing I found only concerns Test Connection and not pulling/pushing?

See #47 and cf807d4

OK, so looks like this is actually implemented and working! My issue lied elsewhere - paths to plink/pageant I set in Settings -> SSH were not in line with those stored in registry HKCU\Software\GitExtensions and therefore Test Connection used a different plink.exe than Pull does.

gitssh key updated itself after I re-saved settings in this page - but as seen, plink/pageant/puttygen are still wrong.

Good stuff! So which one does the "Test Connection" use?

UI for Test Connection relies on the one from registry (so if gitssh reg entry doesn't point to plink.exe, Test Connection button is gone), however when launched the option uses plink from Settings. Pull/Fetch and Update remote branch info always use plink from registry.

So if both paths point to valid plink (which is easy since they point to GitExt's plink by default and users might have changed the option in Settings to point to a separate plink) incosistencies like this can occur.

I'm currently working on noting down a reliable repro path for desyncing those without messing with registry keys manually and I'll redirect this discussion there.

Created #4011 - let's move the discussion here.

Long story short - issue OP had seems to be fixed provided paths to plink are correct - I'm now able to pull from SSH over port 2322 with no problems.

Discussion was moved to #4011, need to close this.
