I’m trying to set up an ssh-remote

pys@gitlab:~/lfstest/ \> dvc remote add base ssh://pys@gitlab.ukit.space:/home/www/dvc  
pys@gitlab:~/lfstest/ \> dvc remote modify base port 12322  
pys@gitlab:~/lfstest/ \> dvc add data.xml  
Error: Initialization error: Config file error: Key ‘remote “base”’ error:  
Key ‘port’ error:  
‘12322’ should be instance of ‘int’  
pys@gitlab:~/lfstest/ \> cat ./.dvc/config  
[‘remote “base”’]  
url = ssh://pys@gitlab.ukit.space:/home/www/dvc  
port = 12322

Hi @pys !

Thank you for the feedback! This is definitely a bug, I’m already preparing a patch. Will release 0.18.7 with the fix in an hour or so.

Thanks,
