Hi,

I may have missed someting, but I can't figure how to set up a private/public key authentication for the sftp server : there's no .ssh directory and I'm not allowed to create it.

Is there any convenient and secure way to avoid interactively typing my password every time I want to upload a file ? I'm using a Linux system.

Thanks.

Hi,

You are right, private/public key authentication is not supported for the sftp server.

As for memorising credentials, this fonctionnality is offered by some of the file managers offering to mount sftp into a local directory and create a shortcut to access it easily ('memorise until the end of the session' or 'memorise forever' in Nautilus). Then these credentials are used automatically after you log in with your linux account and clic the shortcut, so it's about the same functionnality as private/public key.

Cheers,
