[Feature]: Switch user during files widget remote connection.

Open h-sigma opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

Feature description

Switch user during files widget remote connection.

Use Case: On our prod server, we allow SSH into non-root users that are responsible for the deployment of a certain project. Sometimes, we need to switch to a root user, e.g. to edit nginx configuration, etc. However, the root users do not have SSH enabled and can only be logged into via a su and password after SSH'ing into the non-root user.

It would be really useful (to us, maybe to others) if the files widget allowed changing the user during the remote connection.

Implementation Suggestion

Switch user option in the settings dropdown that prompts for the username and password.

Anything else?

I'm not sure if anyone else has a similar setup or will get mileage out of this. Looking forward to what others think!
