Unable to connect to server - no password sent/pwd popup not seen

#1 Post by gochiefs2 » 2019-09-10 21:37

All,

Thanks in advance! FileZilla is pretty sweet but I've been banging my head against the wall for a couple hours here and would love some input.

The first time I set up a connection with a client server via SFTP (key AND pwd required) I eventually got it working - we'd connect, the key exchange would work, I'd get a prompt to enter my password and boom I was connected. I was able to upload a couple test files and they confirmed receipt.

Settings:
Protocol: SFTP
Logon Type: Key File

NOW, I see the key exchange working but I keep getting failures. Looking at the debug logs it appears that it sends a blank password due to keyboard-interaction failing, but I never see the popup asking me for the password. Any thoughts?

The log snippet:
14:29:08 Trace: Offer of public key accepted, trying to authenticate using it.
14:29:08 Trace: Further authentication required
14:29:08 Trace: Attempting keyboard-interactive authentication

Thanks!

Configure the key in the settings dialog and use normal login type in the Site Manager.
