FileZilla Forums

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!

You need to contact Apple so that they can fix Finder to always show all files in all situations.

But getting FileZilla to use SSH_AUTH_SOCK, which is the suggested alternative, doesn't seem to work either.

Anyone else on OS X having these problems?

That seems odd. Is your SSH agent compatible with that of OpenSSH?

Comes with OS X:
OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009

What does ls -l /tmp/launch-ICEWAb/Listeners output?
