Need a display name optiton

[fbd-ss]

Type: Feature Request

When setting up an ssh host.
There could be 2 user accounts on the same ip, ie...
root@some_ip
jimbo@some_ip

The trouble is in the ssh hosts list they will get displayed as
[email protected]
and
[email protected]

It's too hard to remember the ip, so another field in the config file "display_name" or something, so in the hosts list showed,
root@somemachine
and
jimbo@somemachine

Thanks for the feature request. Have you tried adding these hosts to your machine's SSH config file?

1. Open the configuration file from the Remote Explorer with this gear icon

2. Add your hosts

Host Computer01
    HostName 1.2.3.4
    User root

Host Computer02
    HostName 1.2.3.4
    User jimbo

3. See them named in the Remote Explorer.

Does this help? If not, could you please share why not so I can better understand? Thanks!
