I have had the same problem for a while now.....a local Linux Engineer told me to set up SSH public /private keys. You will have to have the login and password on the local and remote server the same. Set up the keys as follows:
SSH Version 2 Step 1 at the command line type ssh-keygen -t dsa (the following you should see as output) Generating public/private dsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (~/.ssh/id_dsa) just hit enter Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase) just hit enter Enter same passphrase again just hit enter Your identification has been saved in ~/.ssh/id_dsa Your public key has been saved in ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub The key fingeprint is (there will be some really long string) Step 2 copy the ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub file into the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote server/host Then reboot and retry your connection. (Go to Places, Connect to Server, Choose SSH and enter all info) You should be able to open read/write files directly from the server and save them directly to the server (however, to save them directly to the server you will have to include the entire server file name. EX. ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/locationforfile/filename) SSH Version 1 Step 1 at the command line type cd ~/.ssh then type ssh-keygen -t rsa1 (the following you should see as output) Generating public/private rsa1 key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (~/.ssh/identity) just hit enter Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase) just hit enter Enter same passphrase again just hit enter Your identification has been saved in ~/.ssh/identity Your public key has been saved in ~/.ssh/identity.pub The key fingeprint is (there will be some really long string) Step 2 copy the ~/.ssh/identity.pub file into the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote server/host Then reboot and retry your connection. (Go to Places, Connect to Server, Choose SSH and enter all info) You should be able to open read/write files directly from the server and save them directly to the server (however, to save them directly to the server you will have to include the entire server file name. EX. ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/locationforfile/filename) Now if I could just find a way to select the server as the save as location instead of having to type the whole thing in with the filename!!
