[quote="klauria"]I am attempting to log in to a remote SFTP site using WinSCPnet.dll from a windows service using the LocalSystem account. The log in fails with a "Password authentication failed" error.  If I use the same parameters with the GUI the log in succeeds.  Below is the VB.net code snippet I'm using to setup the Session Options.

With SessionOptions
                        .Protocol = Protocol.Sftp
                        .HostName = "65.242.47.171"
                        .UserName = "healthpro"
                        .Password = "*****"
                        .SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 66:fb:7a:3d:8c:07:f0:ef:b0:89:d8:f5:92:0a:3e:c4"
                    End With
I suppressed the password but they are the same for both tests.  I attached a file showing the logs for the GUI and windows sessions. I noticed the windows session is missing

It looks like there are lot of spaces as the end of hostname (where it probably does not matter) and username (where it matters):

. Host name: 65.242.47.171        (Port: 22)

                          ^^^^^^^  

. User name: healthpro            (Password: Yes, Key file: No)

                       ^^^^^^^^^^

. Looking up host "65.242.47.171       "

                                ^^^^^^^

! Using username "healthpro           ".

                           ^^^^^^^^^^^

Any idea where these come from?

Can you attach a complete log file from .NET assembly?
