-Versions below 3.3 of [[&openssh|OpenSSH]] and versions below 1.3.4d/1.3.5rc4 of ProFTPD/mod_sftp require SSH RSA signatures to be padded with zero bytes to the same length as the %%RSA%% key modulus. The %%SSH%% specification says that an unpadded signature MUST be accepted, so this is a bug. A typical symptom of this problem is that WinSCP mysteriously fails %%RSA%% authentication once in every few hundred attempts, and falls back to passwords. In session log file you will typically see this record:+Versions below 3.3 of [[&openssh|OpenSSH]] and versions below 1.3.4d/1.3.5rc4 of ProFTPD ''mod_sftp'' require SSH RSA signatures to be padded with zero bytes to the same length as the %%RSA%% key modulus.
