[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#505133: mc: Impossible to specify port number in shell link

[Kim N. Lesmer]

Package: mc
Version: 2:4.6.2~git20080311-4
Severity: normal


When using the shell link, it should be possible to specify the port number 
like this: 

username at myhost.com:3000/home/username/

But it doesn't work. The shell link works perfectly when the port is default 
to 22.

As far as I can tell, this bug was reported in 2006 on the GNU bug list:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18042 and a patch was submitted.
