Hello,
I'm using KeePass to start FileZilla Client. All my passwords are in KeePass, in FileZilla no site is registered. KeePass starts FileZilla via (and this works perfectly):
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\FileZilla FTP Client\filezilla.exe" username:password@url
But now I want to connect to Amazon using SFTP. I have a PPK file, but don't want to create an entry in FileZilla sitemanager.
Is it possible to initiate a sftp connection from the commandline ? And provide the PPK file via the commandline ?
Something like:
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\FileZilla FTP Client\filezilla.exe" ....amazon.com -keyfile c:\mykey.ppk
Kind regards,
Mirco Babin (The Netherlands)

Passwords should not be passed on the command-line as that's not secure.
To use sftp:// prefix the URI with sftp://
Note that the username is part of the URI, it's the userinfo part of the URI's authority part.
You can configure keyfiles in the settings dialog of FileZilla.

Thanx for your reply botg.
Using the sftp:// url syntax:
Code: Select all
filezilla.exe sftp://username:@ipadres
Does not work, because the PPK keyfile is missing. Filezilla gives (Dutch text):
Code: Select all
Status: Verbinden met ipadres...
Antwoord: fzSftp started, protocol_version=8
Opdracht: open "username@ipadres" 22
Fout: Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)
Fout: Kan niet verbinden met server
How can I specify the PPK file to be used for authentication on the commandline ?

You can't. You can configure the key file in the settings instead.

I want to request for this feature to be added, to specify the PPK keyfile on the commandline.
Is there a place where I can request this ?
