ChangesSFTP channel lifecycle handling
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR enables concurrent SSH channel handling to prevent client freezes, but handler failures may leave accepted channels open and consume resources. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for cleanup on failure. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

…andling - Close the SSH channel when Handle fails or no matching server is found for the connection's UUID, avoiding leaked channels that would otherwise stay open until the client disconnects. - Propagate non-EOF errors from rs.Serve() instead of always returning nil, so protocol/I/O failures are actually logged. - Track handler goroutines with a WaitGroup so AcceptInbound waits for them to finish before returning. - Re-add the "ip" field lost from error logs when channel handling moved off the main goroutine.

Fixes #206
Root Cause
gvfs (used by GNOME Nautilus and KDE Dolphin) opens two separate SSH connections to the SFTP server via SSH ControlMaster multiplexing: a
command_connectionand adata_connection. Both share the same underlying TCP connection, meaning Wings receives two channel open requests on the samessh.ServerConn.The issue is in
AcceptInbound: thefor ch := range chansloop callsc.Handle()synchronously, blocking on the first channel's entire SFTP session. The second channel requested by gvfs is queued inchansbut never dequeued — Wings is stuck insideHandle()for the first channel. After ~40 seconds, gvfs times out and falls back to a degraded mode, loggingSetting up data connection failed.FileZilla is unaffected because it only opens a single SFTP channel per connection.
Fix
Wrap
c.Handle()in a goroutine so each SSH channel is served concurrently, allowing Wings to process multiple channels on the same connection simultaneously.Investigation
