The following instructions assume you have a working SSH configuration which allows you to ssh to the same host without a password. Import your key via Settings and then use “Normal” logon type in your site connection definition. If for some reason you are not using ssh-agent and on a Mac, you don’t need to perform a ssh key conversion. (Note, the “Normal” logon type should be set for the site in order to use the SSH agent socket.) If your SSH agent is running, the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable should be set. Don’t forget to close pageant when you’re done.įileZilla Pro supports the standard SSH agents. Now simply launch FileZilla Pro and connect to your server using SFTP using SSH2 with a username and an empty password. Follow the prompt to enter your pass phrase and you’re done. Right-click the icon and select “Add Key” and select your private key (PPK) file. In your system tray, you’ll see the Pageant icon appear. Select your key and follow the prompts to enter your pass phrase. To do this, launch PuTTYgen and from the “Conversions” menu, select the “Import key” option. However if your key is in OpenSSH format, you first need to convert it to PuTTY’s PPK format. If your key file is already in PuTTY’s PPK format you can skip this paragraph. To allow the use of RSA/DSA key files with FileZilla Pro, you’ll need two tools from PuTTY: Pageant and (assuming your key file isn’t already in PPK format) PuTTYgen. Note: Importing a site’s public key is not supported. In the Edit – Settings menu of the FileZilla Pro client, you can add the key file under Connection – SFTP, and FileZilla Pro can then use the public key authentication in the site manager with the ‘Interactive’ Logontype on connection.pem format – see below for conversion options from other formats.) The user is prompted for the key file’s password if necessary. If the SFTP Protocol is specified, it is possible to specify the Logon Type as “Key File” and specify the location of the private key file (in. In the profile settings in the Site Manager of the FileZilla Pro client.There are three mechanisms for use of the FileZilla client with SSH2 keys: Like your user ID, this might be different to your usual password for the site. If you have a user ID, your password for the server if that is required.Some servers won’t require a login, and will instead allow an anonymous connection (typically for downloads).This might be different to your usual login for the site. The address of the server, and its port number if it uses a non-standard one.Below you find a step by step guide, if you prefer you can watch our How to Use SSH Private Keys for SFTP video tutorial.īefore connecting to an SFTP remote server, you’ll need some connection information:
