Autocomplete not working properly over SSH.

Describe the bug

Hey,

After connecting to a remote server over ssh, everything is OK.
After disconnecting with CTRL-D, and connecting to a second remote server the autocomplete will use the dirs of the first remote server instead of the new one.
This persists over multiple connects and disconnects and only on the actual TAB. In a new tab, if I connect to the second remote server, it will work OK.

Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using ssh multiplex.

PS: this is a follow up to #4574 as it appears to be a different issue. @danielpeng2 asked to open a new issue if needed.

To reproduce

1. ssh to remote server
2. ls
3. cd somedir (with tab)
4. ctrl-d
5. ssh to other remote server
6. ls (confirm that's a different server with a different listing)
7. cd someotherdir (with tab)

Expected behavior

Instead of showing the previous dirs and files of the first remote server, it should show the dirs and files of the second remote server.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Hi @mdurao Sorry to hear about this. Warp SSH wrapper doesn't work within nested SSH sessions at this time. Warp has an SSH Wrapper that enables features (like the prompt, completions, etc.) on remote machines. This requires the default prompt on the remote machine to be either bash or zsh.

As a workaround, you can try using adding command ssh to your Settings > Subshell menu, then use command ssh <user@server> to connect to sessions, this will enable Warp features with the subshell method instead of the ssh wrapper.

Or, you can also try disabling the SSH wrapper by navigating to Settings > Features. Blocks will stop working but with it disabling, SSH should work as normal.

Hey @dannyneira

This is not related with nested SSH sessions:

• Host connects to Remote Host A
• Host disconnects from Remote Host A
• Host connects to Remote Host B
• Autocomplete gets directories from Remote Host A instead of B

Thank you,
