SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable
Hi Devs,
You may want to check this thread http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3146. There seems to be a bug in Filezilla with the setup described in the post. Thanks.

Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable
SFTP support in FileZilla is based on PuTTY's psftp. Do you also experience this issue using PuTTY or psftp?
Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable
I am not entirely sure how to reproduce the experience using putty or psftp. However I tried few things: First, I installed putty, putty-tools and pterm. Then I opened pterm from menu and tried using psftp and plink as shown below. Both of these required me to input the password manually i.e. it did not use SSH-agent for key based login. Next, I tried using the PuTTY gui for connecting to the server using SSH. It also did not use the SSH-agent keys and prompted me to enter the password for the login.botg wrote:SFTP support in FileZilla is based on PuTTY's psftp.

Code: Select all
$ psftp user@server.xxx.edu
Code: Select all
$ plink user@server.xxx.edu
Code: Select all
Host serverName
HostName server.xxx.com
User user
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myPrivateKey_rsa
Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable
PuTTY does not read ~/.shh/
Furthermore, there does not appear to be a working SSH agent running on your system with your key loaded.
Two possible solutions:
- Make sure an agent is running with your key loaded
- Select the private key file to authenticate with in the settings dialog of FileZilla.

Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable
I am entirely sure that I have a SSH agent working and all my keys are loaded. If you go through the initial link I posted, you will find that I mentioned that I can login without entering password from terminal.botg wrote:Furthermore, there does not appear to be a working SSH agent running on your system with your key loaded.
Again, I am sure agent is running. Let me repeat, the problem occures when FileZilla is started from menu and not when FileZilla is started from terminal.botg wrote: Two possible solutions:

Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable
How is your agent started? It's probably started over a script run with interactive shells. The launcher of most desktop environments do not use those scripts.Again, I am sure agent is running.

Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable
It is most likely that this has nothing to do with Filezilla. Seems to be a bug with Mint Menu. See following:botg wrote:How is your agent started? It's probably started over a script run with interactive shells. The launcher of most desktop environments do not use those scripts.
