Key authentification with command line

Hi,

i try to use winscp3 with a script and it work well with user:password@server:port but i want to use key authentification...

Is it possible with command line? How should i proceed? :?

Thanks a lot in advance.

You can create stored session with associated key and open that session.

The next version will allow passing of private key from command line.

I've just try to do this but it doesn't work...

I have generated two key (public and private) with puttygen.exe. I have uploaded the public key on the box where i have the ssh server (openSSH-4.0p1) but when i try to start sshd, it can't read the key...


I suppose that putty keys are not compatible with OpenSSH?!? Is there a solution?? Should i use an other ssh server?

Thanks a lot!

Sorry, i have forgotten to log in before post my reply! :?

-h option is used to set key of the server, not of the user! Key of the user is usually stored into /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys. You do not need to restart the sshd when you update the user keys.

Sorry, i've just found the solution!!

Now i'am searching about how to store a session... I will ask you if i don't find!! :)

HI GUys,

Can someone explain clearly how to make key authentication work with an openssh server. I have tried pageant. PuttyGen there was an option to convert the key but pageant doenst take that key.

I am doing something wrong.

Help!

SOrry! Figured out the problem. I has copy paste the openssh version 1 key which is displayed on the generate screen. Initially i was trying with key that i got from clicking the save public key button and then realized that my server is less than version 2
