Authentication Error Unique to WinSCP
Hello -
I authenticate to an SFTP server without issue using Filezilla, but for automation purposes I need to be able to SFTP to the server using WinSCP.
Whenever I attempt to connect using WinSCP, I receive this error:
>Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)
The server uses only a username / password for authentication, no public/private key pairs. Filezilla has no problem connecting to the same server, with the same username / password over the same port.
Here's the last half of my system log. Can anyone help?
