s/key

[Hieu]

Im using the Windows XP SP1 and FlashFXP 3.0.2 build 1045 and was just wondering how I connect to an FTP server using OTP. Can someone give me the complete process because it is just baffling me.

Do I just enter the ftp IP as normal and username as normal? What about the password field.

I cant seem to find any tutorial or post about how this is meant to work. I have entered the appropriate password for 190 and it still won't login.

Output below:
[07:06:18] [L] Connecting to hosting.connect.com.au -> DNS=hosting.connect.com.au IP=192.189.54.15 PORT=21
[07:06:18] [L] Connected to hosting.connect.com.au
[07:06:18] [L] 220 FTP server ready.
[07:06:18] [L] USER username
[07:06:19] [L] 331 Response to otp-md5 190 bu0426 required for username.
[07:06:19] [L] PASS (s/key)
[07:06:19] [L] 530 Login incorrect.
[07:06:19] [L] Connection failed
[07:06:19] [L] Delaying for 120 seconds before reconnect attempt #1

You enter your real password into FlashFXP and FlashFXP will automatically perform the s/key authentication.

By real, do you mean the initiator password that generators OTP passwords?

The password is in the form:
TIP ELI BERN SAYS SLAB FLAG

which I put into the password field and it rejects me still.

Log below:

You don't need to generate a OTP for FlashFXP. You use the real password assigned to you by your provider "secert_pass", During login FlashFXP detects that a OPT is requred and converts your "secret_pass" into a OTP, i.e. TIP ELI BERN SAYS SLAB FLAG

[Hieu]

Is "secret_pass" typically not in the format:
TIP ELI BERN SAYS SLAB FLAG
?


We have a webpage that we use a password of the above format to generate the OTP. I would have assumed that this if the "secret_pass" you are talking about.

[bigstar]

TIP ELI BERN SAYS SLAB FLAG looks to me like a OTP generated password and not a "secret_pass", If it were the "secret_pass" it should of worked as expected and you should of been able to login.

You might need to contact your provider and clear this up.

[Hieu]

I just called them. They say the only way to generate keys is by using the initiator key which is the "TIP ELI BERN SAYS SLAB FLAG". Does this just mean that my provider cant handle it? Is that a possibility?

[bigstar]

I suppose that's possible. I've never heard of any provider doing anything like that though.

This doesnt seem to work when entering my secret_pass in the popup box?

Pasted from flashfxp:

[R] PBSZ 0
[R] 200 PBSZ command OK. Protection buffer size set to 0.
[R] USER test123
[R] 331 Response to otp-md5 999 tile719 required for skey.
[R] PASS (s/key)
[R] 530 Not logged in.

Using Serv-U 5.0.0.4 as FTP server.

OTP S/KEY MD5 doesnt work when entering the password in the site manager either.

[Hetfield]

Well i do know that S/KEY works perfectly with RaidenFTPd here.

[j_jorgensen]

Do any of you know of another ftp client i can try to rule out flashfxp?

[bigstar]

In Serv-u you need to re-enter the password if you change the password type, did you do that?

That goes for switching from md5 to sha1 as well.

[j_jorgensen]

I didnt know that! Im sorry for the fuss :-) And im thankful for the help, it works like a charm now! :D

Now all I need is FlashFXP for my PDA........ ;)
