Re: Question automate login to winscp withe empty pasword.

So are you allowing authentication-less access to root account?
With SSH protocol, WinSCP prompts for password only if the server asks for it. So that would imply that authentication-less access is not allowed.

For I tried see if I can automate login with hostkey

Maybe you wanted to automate login with private key actually. But you haven't specified any with the "open" command

Question automate login to winscp withe empty pasword.

For I tried see if I can automate login with hostkey, however the password is empty for the user(so I use username:), it always give me the prompt for password.

What is the right way to do it? so it will not prompt me if the password is empty.

Here is my example:
C:\winscp437>winscp /command "open "sftp://root:@16.107.169.183" -hostkey
=""ssh-dss 1024 71:f7:da:9e:09:f7:b5:49:67:eb:c9:13:90:ef:b5:b4"""
Searching for host...
Connecting to host...
Authenticating...
Using username "super.super".
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password: <----enter it stop right here, prompt for password, and I have to hit an enter key to by pass this point and then it will continue.

Authenticated.
Starting the session...
Reading remote directory...
Session started.
Active session: [1] root@16.107.169.183

Of course, if I specify a username and password on another system..that will work fine.

C:\winscp437>winscp.com /command "open "sftp://root:mypassword@blosm2-clim3.cacla
b.cac.corp.net" -hostkey=""ssh-rsa 2048 f7:bb:6a:16:04:af:ca:ba:c9:c1:36:9b:a
d:0a:c4:36"""
