[QUESTION] Issue: 'No such File': Empty directories, SFTP via local NAS

[CraigUK82]

Hi,

I've stumbled into an issue where K2A can no longer "see" my local server files and therefore cannot access my password file.

I updated my NAS OS recently to TOS 6.0 (TerraMaster F4-423) and I have always used SFTP just fine with K2A.

I use the correct credentials to login, and the connection is successful. My file password and fingerprint is successful (there is a local backup on my phone) but when trying to sync the file, I have started to get the error 'no such file'.

I've spent some time searching, including the forum, and tried the suggested single slash / to bring up the file explorer. I can see directories in my root folder, but they are incorrectly empty. It looks like a permission issue, but considering I'm using the correct credentials for my server, of which there's no issues from my Linux machines, I'm confused.

I installed a different app on my phone to test SFTP, and I can successfully login using it with the same credentials, being able to fully browse the NAS and see my password file just fine. I can't work out why K2A cannot.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

What version of Keepass2Android are you using? 1.12r5

can you see anything in the log of the NAS?

Hi,

Thanks for replying. I'm going to have a look over the weekend, likely on Sunday and I'll come back here.

Cheers.

Ps

When responding there's a forced option of closing the thread but doesn't look like I can keep it open? Confused.

Hi,

Thanks for reopening.

I've done some testing and the log shows a successful SSH connection as soon as I select the database in the app, before entering password.

There's nothing else really in the log that would help, my phone's local IP and client port 59492, 59462, 59456, 59438 and 59436 are listed within seconds of each other.

I have a simple firewall rule on the NAS to only allow all local IPs, but I've tested with the firewall off and the result is the same.

To note, I'm now using an updated app version 1.13-r1.

Thanks.

Can you maybe record a video of what you're doing? You can share it privately if you prefer ([email protected])
