Description of the new feature/enhancement

i want to suggest some new features about ssh.

  1. password: store ssh passwords in ssh profiles and perform auto connect. so the user does not need to type passwords every time.
  2. sftp: users can see host files and abale to upload or download files.
  3. dynamic port forwarding: when user connect to ssh, he could add or remove any port forwards.

Windows Terminal is not the place for storing passwords. Putty offers this as it's a dedicated to remote connections and includes a built-in password manager. However since VSCode allows this via extension such as https://github.com/SchoofsKelvin/vscode-sshfs or the official Remote-SSH, WT can support this via extension as well. Just needs to be tagged up in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/4000

Thanks for the feature request!

This would be a great opportunity for a plugin author once we get plugin support (#4000.)

I'm not sure that this sort of feature belongs in the terminal core -- we're focusing on making a great local terminal experience first and foremost -- and I think that anything we do internally would naturally play second fiddle to that. In light of that, I'm going to close this one out after linking it up to #4000 as an interesting thing that plugins could enable.

Thank you!
