Can't get SFTP working on OS X 10.6.7
Posted: 2011-04-24 19:05
Using: FireZilla 3.4.0 on OS X 10.6.7:
1) SSH keys are by default stored in hidden ~/.ssh folder. I cannot get FileZilla to show hidden files when trying to configure SFTP:
FireZilla > Preferences > Connection > SFTP > Add keyfile…
This brings up a Finder window but NOT showing hidden files, even though
$ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
has been set. Normal Finder launch from desktop is showing hidden files and FileZilla is showing hidden files in local directory window just fine. Changing "File editing" to "Use custom editor" = TextMate doesn’t work either.
2) Even though SSH_AUTH_SOCK is set:
/tmp/launch-ICEWAb/Listeners
FileZilla doesn’t seem to recognize it.
I'm stuck!
