Private Key and Passphrase

Is there anyway to encode/send the passphrase for SSH Key? Our provider wants us to have the SSH Key, but we run WinSCP Overnight, and it fails because the passphrase is not entered.

I talked to our provider, and you need to have a passphrase with a key.

Can anyone help?

How do you "run WinSCP Overnight"?

Are you using scripting? Use -passphrase switch of open command:

Or .NET assembly? Use SessionOptions.PrivateKeyPassphrase:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_sessionoptions#privatekeypassphrase

Or what?

Martin,

Thanks for the suggestion, it worked! When I did my initial search through documentation, I must either, not seen what you gave, or did not search as thoroughly as I should have.

Anyway, thanks again!

Joe
