I have selected all possible options to Flashfxp but still no common authentication method ??

Have you imported your public and private key into FlashFXP? Specifically the private key as the public key is used by the server to verify the authentication.

After importing the key into FlashFXP you then select it for use by the site profile, this is done from within the Site manager > select the site > Connection tab, click the Apply button to save the changes.

Assuming you've done the following it should work, if it doesn't I would be more than happy to test compatibility with serv-u if you can provide me with a test account on the server. You can send this information to me via a private message.

If you generated the key pair within FlashFXP make sure that the public key is in a format recognized by serv-u and is properly set in serv-u.

Hi,

Serv-U is fully compatible with FlashFXP. To set up your FlashFXP installation to use Public Key Authentication with Serv-U:

1) Open the Site Manager in FlashFXP
2) Create a New Site with the address and username of your Serv-U server
3) Open the "Connection" tab and click "Key Manager"
4) Generate a new "DSA key for SFTP" with a common name of "Serv-U"
5) Right click the key and choose "Export"
6) Enter the public key path of C:\Serv-UDSA.pub and private key path of C:\Serv-UDSA.key
7) Move the .PUB file to the Serv-U server
8) Edit the Serv-U user account in "Users | Domain Users", and set the Public Key Path to the PUB file generated by FlashFXP
9) In the "User Properties | Limits & Settings" tab choose the "Password" category
10) Set the "SSH Authentication Type" to "Password or Public Key", then save the user account
11) In FlashFXP, close the Key Manager, and select the "Serv-U" key we just created
12) Apply the changes, and then connect
