Connecting with SSH/SFTP

[mutley100]

I am trying to connect to our CoreFTP server (1.2 Build 587) using SHH/SFTP keys.
I am using CoreFTP LE and have generated the keys. I have placed the Public Key on the server and have configured the account to point to this key. I have also enabled key authentication and disabled password.

When I try to connect I get error message: SFTP connection error - Login/password/privatekey error

Now getting very frustrated with this issue so any advice would be most welcome.

I too am having the same issue. CoreFTP client keeps asking me for a userid/password when trying to use SSH keys only.

When I generated the SSH key pairs I entered a password. The password request error is somehow related to accessing the key file. When I generate the key pairs w/o a password and import them appropriately it works.

You don't need the password. When you generate the keys, you can specify a password for added security, however that defeats the object of exchanging keys to make the it passwordless.

To use SSH key pairs without a user account password, the "Key authentication only" option must be selected.
