Per, we use Putty no our Windows clients for depolyment to a Linux repository machine. This is how it works for us.
start 'puttygen.exe' to generate public/private keys: - 'SSH2 DSA' - randomly move your mouse pointer over the window - save public and private key - add an user on the remote (local repository) machine - copy 'Public key for pasting...' (the String starting with 'ssh-dss') in the file '$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys' on the repository machine ($HOME is the user home dir of the new added user) start 'putty.exe' and configure the destination: ! +-- Session ! Hostname: <local-repository-machine> ! Protocol: SSH \-+ Connection ! Auto-login username: <username-on-repository-machine> \-+ SSH ! Preferred SSH protocol version: 2 \-- Auth Private key file for authentication: <private-key-file> back to ! \-- Session Saved Sessions: <local-repository-machine> [Save]! Now the connection can be testet by double-clicking the entry in 'saved sessions' list box. => login without typing the password. It is important that there is an entry in build.properties (lives in your home directory) that is *exactly* the same as the saved session. Putty uses the configuration instead of directly trying to ssh the hostname. Hope it helps. -Christian Am Mo, den 23.08.2004 schrieb Per Abich um 22:35: > I have tried to use putty with site:deploy on our local repository, > but it alway promps me for a password _after_ I press CTRL-C. > dist:deploy works fine using agent authentification & plink/pscp. > > Does anyone here got experience with this kind of trouble?
