Description

Hi,
I always get a tcp error: Connection cant be established, Host denies connection.

I tried the precomipled binary and self compiled binarys on windows and linux. Even on different computers and with different login methods.
Poking arround in the code it seems its trying to establish a connection to a blank host - wich obv. fails but i cant find the reason for it.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Edit: running it directly (-u "user@" -p "pwd") and not over the configfile seems to work!

Research direction

Start with the start subcommand and compare its config-file path with the working direct -u and -p invocation. Trace where the host becomes blank, then review the related documentation and error output. Done means the config-file case either connects correctly or reports an actionable error, with the documented invocation matching the behavior.
