I ssh to a remote server from command line using key to not enter password at any time want to connect. I need to transfer some files to the server using gFTP software.
Is it possible to use ssh key to connect to a remote server via gFTP in Ubuntu?
Thank you.
Here are the steps how to setup gFTP to use SSH keys:
In the FTP menu click on Preferences;
Go to SSH tab;
Fill the field SSH Extra Params with this value:
Change
<user name>
with your real username. Or use:In gFTP's main window choice SSH2 as type of the connection;
Enter the target Host name, or IP address;
Setup the SSH Port of the target machine (if it's not the default -
22
);Enter User for the SSH connection;
Enter your SSH key's Passphrase (if there is some);
Hit Enter.
