scp-run-helper-no-user-template: preference variable

Default value: "%c %h"

When Epsilon tries to perform an operation on an scp URL, such as listing the contents of the directory to which the scp URL refers, file name completion, or similar, it uses this template to build a command to execute. With default settings, it runs the sftp program, which must already be installed. See the main SCP topic for details.

Epsilon substitutes the host name for %h. It substitutes the contents of either the scp-unix-sftp-command or scp-windows-sftp-command variable for the %c, depending on the OS where Epsilon is running.

If the scp URL contains a user name, Epsilon uses the scp-run-helper-template variable instead. Epsilon checks for host-specific variables before checking this variable.
