Re: [lftp] Fwd: sftp with an encrypted key
Currently it is not possible as ftp does not ask for passwords asynchronously, and the need for password arises only during the connection phase. 4:23, ср, 10.12.2014, Andrew Schulman : > > Specify the passphrase for the key as password for the connection.

Thanks. Now, is there a way to get lftp to prompt me for the password if the key needs one, and not prompt me if it doesn't? As far as I can tell, I can either specify open sftp://cyg...@cygwin.com and always be prompted, or open sftp://cygwin:@cygwin.com and never be prompted. Is there a way to be prompted if and only if the key needs to be decrypted? Andrew ___ lftp mailing list lftp@uniyar.ac.ru http://univ.uniyar.ac.ru/mailman/listinfo/lftp

Ah! Right. I forgot that I'd included the empty passphrase in the connection string. Thanks! ___ lftp mailing list lftp@uniyar.ac.ru http://univ.uniyar.ac.ru/mailman/listinfo/lftp
[lftp] Fwd: sftp with an encrypted key
Specify the passphrase for the key as password for the connection. In the example you have provided, you have specified an empty passphrase, thus it failed to decrypt the key. If you don't want to give the passphrase in cleartext, don't specify a password in the URL and lftp will ask for a password, type the passphrase at the prompt. 2014-12-09 13:01 GMT+03:00 Andrew Schulman : > To connect to an sftp site using an SSH private key, the standard advice is > to use > > set sftp:connect-program ssh -a -x -i /path/to/key > > If the private key is unencrypted, this works fine.
