Hi @rbaugh!
I’m pretty sure that even on 8.0.1 Local wouldn’t be using those public keys specified in your SSH config, because Local is generating it’s own public key and submitting it under the hood. Any rsync/ssh commands explicitly pass that Local-specific identity file. I could be wrong about which would take precedence though - when you remove the SSH config file on 8.0.1, I’m assuming Connect still works for you?
Also, it seems your verbose logs don’t go all the way back to the last failed Connect event (the successful logs are quite long, especially for larger sites). Could you upgrade to Local Beta 8.1.1, run a Pull, and if it fails immediately upload those logs here? That would help us find the relevant logs more quickly.
Thanks! Hopefully we can get this figured out!
