I created a VM on tcp, and configured ssh key and gave the name abc. Then I tried to use ssh 'Open in browser window'. it worked.
I used mobile app 'CloudConsole'. used the same option to connect to vm and it worked.

And destroyed the vm. and created another vm and configured ssh key and name as xyz. 

On the vm now I see two directories created /home/abc as well as /home/xyz.

And now when I try to connect using ssh 'Open in browser window'. it is not working.

Using mobile app, it connects, but default to directory /home/abc.
When I try to change directory to /home/xyz I get error 'Permission Denied'.

I can use terminal to do the ssh. That works perfectly fine. 

I logged into VM, and tried to delete the dir /home/abc. It deletes.
But then it recreates it when I try to login from mobile app. (This part am not sure when it re-creates).

I then configured the ssh key once again with user name abc.

Still same issue.

With mobile defaults to /home/abc. Not allowing to change to /home/xyz.

ssh 'Open in browser window' not working.

ssh in terminal works as expected.

Because of this I am not able to use mobile app (cloud console) to start/stop vm. Important for me.
