osync SSH via IPv6 or IPv4, make REMOTE_HOST filled by regex instead of bash substitution

Is or will there be a possibility to use IPv6-addresses as TARGET_SYNC_DIR value?

Edit: Solved the problem by getting to know SSH-Aliases.

Would love to hear your solution, so I can add a note to the documentation.

In the .ssh folder created after using the ssh-keygen -t-command, you can create a file named config. This file is used to create SSH-Aliases:

Host testhost
    HostName 1234:5678:9abc:def:1234:5678:9abc:def

After doing this, you are able to login to the mentioned IPv6-address by typing ssh user@testhost. This can also be used to reach an IPv6-address via your program: ssh://user@testhost//path/to/dir2.

Ahh, I see :) Thanks for the answer. I'll leave this open in order to think about putting a regex in place that can match an IPv4 or an IPv6.

Thank you very much and keep up the good work! Your program is very easy to understand with the well written documentation. :)
