The plugin doesn't appear to support IPv6. An application exception occurs when trying to connect to an IPv6 only hostname. The error is: "Network error: Connection to "foo.example.com" timed out. foo.example.com being an example
Steps to reproduce:
Try and open a password file with a url containing a hostname that only resolves to an IPv6 address. eg, a hostname with an AAAA record but no A record. sftp://foo.example.com/passwordfile.kbdx
Application exception occurs
Entering an IPv6 address using the stadard rfc2732 format results in the same error. eg sftp://[1080::8:800:200C:417A]/passwordfile.kdbx
I'm unsure if this is a bug report or a feature request.
Please advise...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
IOProtocolExt does not contain any IPv4-specific code. I don't see any reason why IPv6 shouldn't work.
Maybe WinSCP's automatic IPv4/IPv6 selection fails. You could try specifying AddressFamily=2
in the WinSCP raw settings (on the 'Advanced' tab of the 'Open From URL' dialog in KeePass, using the latest KeePass 2.32 and IOProtocolExt 1.12).
Best regards,
Dominik

Are you talking about the IOProtocolExt plug-in? What version?
cheers, Paul
Does it work when using WinSCP's GUI?
