ST3 Keeps Suddenly Prompts for RSA + SFTP Password

#1

Hello. Really stumped on this sudden issue.

Every 5-10 minutes, if I’m working on a site (any site I have open), suddenly ST3 requests my RSA key followed by the SFTP password for the site I’m working on to push files.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Sounds like you may have the SFTP package installed and the sync_down_on_open setting enabled. That would cause it to try to download each file when you open it to confirm you have the latest version.

That or you have another package installed that provides similar features.

Thanks, I’ll look into that. The weird thing is that I’ve been using ST3 for 6 years now and I haven’t added any new packages or changed anything in over a year or more.

EDIT: Nope, no other SFTP packages and sync_down_on_open set to false.

Well, something seems to be trying to invoke an SSH session. Perhaps try disabling packages until the weird behavior stops?
