PhpStorm sftp deploy with SSH Proxy

I'm trying to deploy some code with PHPStorm using sftp. I need to use an ssh proxy to do so. Now in the terminal this is no problem: I add a few lines in the .ssh/config file (Namely: ProxyCommand ssh [...]) and everything works fine. But PHPStorm seems to ignore any configurations in the .ssh/config file.

The question: Is it possible in PHPStorm to configure an SSH-Proxy or can I tell PHPStorm to use the .ssh/config file like any other program that uses ssh?

Best regards.

I managed to connect to target server through middle server using PhpStorm by issuing following command through commandline

ssh -L 2222:target-server.com:22 middleserver.com

and using following settings in PhpStorm

and in PhpStorm host: localhost port: 2222 username/password as required for target server

I was able to make this work on PhpStorm 2018.1.2 by a combination of ProxyCommand and ssh tunneling.

I set up my .ssh/config like this:

Host jumpserver
    HostName jumpserver.example.com
    User user

Host 10.0.0.*
    ProxyCommand ssh jumpserver -W %h:%p

And then opened a tunnel using the following command

ssh 10.0.0.15 -L 2000:localhost:22 -N

Lastly enter localhost and port 2000 into your PhpStorm config settings

@LazyOne is right, IDE does not using native ssh, which lead to ssh proxy does not work。

example：

after set up the proxy tunnel

shell code:

ssh -f -N -L 2203:host_ip_c:22 username@host_ip_b -p host_ip_b_port

I would be able setup direct ssh to host_ip_c by

shell code

ssh localhost -p 2203

but it did not work by IDE

Deployment through proxy (be it ordinary FTP or SFTP) is not currently supported.

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-14953 -- watch this ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified on progress (for SFTP).
