Problem connecting to SFTP server

Arnau · 08-31-2014, 11:02 AM

Hi, this started failing a few versions ago, as I was able to connect when I first installed v5 beta (can't remember the build number when it started failing, sorry).

I have a SFTP over SSH host defined, using Private Key as authentication.

When atempting to connect, the following error is shown on the status window:

I noticed that Site Manager doesn't save my key, always reverts to (none). May that be the cause of the problem?

In the Site Manager > Select the site profile, then on the general tab what is the "Login Type" set to? It should be set to "Key Based", then re-select the Private Key, and finally click Apply.

If you select another site profile and then switch back is the Private Key still selected?

Hi,

Yes, key based is the selected login type.

As soon as I select the private key and press apply, switch to another profile and then again to the key one, the private key gets set to (none)

Hello,

Thank you so much.

I have found the problem and I will release an update very soon.

Here's a quick fix

http://get.flashfxp.com/5.0/flashfxp_exe/ffxp5.0.0.3764.zip

Unzip the flashfxp.exe into your FlashFXP 5 program folder.

I am fairly sure everything is fixed but I need to do a little more testing before publishing the update via LiveUpdate.

Confirmed, this build fixes they key problem I was having.

Thanks!
