Yes, only for authentication. > or at other times during an SFTP transaction ? No, other keys and algorithms are negotiated as part of setting up the connection. (Even before authentication.) Enable debugging in libssh2, or run OpenSSH ssh -vvv when logging in, to get a lot of information about the messages back and forth, as part of setting up a session. And of course there's always the RFCs. :) //Peter _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
