Disconnected: Unable to authenticate

Hi.

I want to connect to server with scp protocol and I can do this by WinScp.exe.
But c# code does not work =(

username = "root" and there's no password

Here's my code:

// Setup session options
var sessionOptions = new SessionOptions
{
    Protocol = Protocol.Scp,
    HostName = "10.0.6.10",
    UserName = "root",
    GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnySshHostKey = true,
};

using (var session = new Session()
        {
            SessionLogPath = Path.GetFullPath(@".\WinScpSessionLog.txt"),
            DebugLogPath =  Path.GetFullPath(@".\WinScpDebugLog.txt")
         })
{
    // Connect
    session.Open(sessionOptions);
}

Here is SessionLog

I tried to set password as empty string in SessionOptions - does not work.

Please tell me how to connect with "root" and no password.
I say again - I can connect with WinScp.exe

Re: Disconnected: Unable to authenticate

So how do you authenticate in GUI? I assume you do not really allow root access with no authentication at all.

And I hope you really know, what you are doing, when using .GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnySshHostKey.

The difference is that GUI asks for a password and I leave the password field empty, click on connect btn and connection happens
and I see file viewer.

GUI do this :
! 2015-02-09 16:38:33.239 Using username "root".
. 2015-02-09 16:38:33.279 Prompt (7, SSH password, , &Password: )
. 2015-02-09 16:38:34.918 Sent password
. 2015-02-09 16:38:34.960 Access granted

But code logs:
! 2015-02-03 11:50:28.775 Using username "root".
. 2015-02-03 11:50:28.776 Prompt (7, SSH password, , &Password: )
. 2015-02-03 11:50:28.776 Disconnected: Unable to authenticate

And I hope you really know, what you are doing, when using .GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnySshHostKey.
Yes, this is ok.

Also I can connect and send file by pscp.exe using:
pscp.exe -scp -pw "" C:\Users\user1\Desktop\333.prj root@10.0.6.10:/mnt/ufs/root

So, I realy mean that I have access and there is no password or maybe empty password, but with some reason that does not work on winScp dll :(

ps. sry for my english

Just set Password = ""
For benefit of others, as discussed over email with Victoria already, this won't help. Improvements are needed to WinSCP to allow authentication with an empty password.
