I would like to access remote SSH server files within Python, and found fsspec. However, there seems to be few code usage examples.
In particular, I can connect by specifying all SSH config options in the function as:
fsspec.filesystem('sftp', host='XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX', port=XXX, username='XXX', password='XXX')
However, I would like to connect simply as fsspec.filesystem('sftp', host='nickname') as I would do as sftp nickname on console, where I have already set all the config options in .ssh/config.
This is both for convenience and the fact that I do not want to parse my password in plain text.
I have read the API documentation (https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html) and searched a bit but could not find a way yet. May I ask if anyone can point me some direction?
Many thanks!
