Client request: Public/private key authentication
I must say I am really excited about the FileZilla client! I've been looking for an alternative to SecureFX and I found it
I would *love*, however, to see public/private key authentication on it!
Another thing that would be truly awesome, would be to be able to "mount" a connection in windows, that is, to integrate it into windows with a drive letter But I know that can be a real pain...

public private key auth
I would really like to see the public private key authentication in FileZilla. This because at work we have various developers using one account to modify specific data. Every developer has his own key and with this key he has access to the data. With WinSCP this is a very well working concept but WinSCP is buggy.
An easy to way hack this in (for so far I know) is allow to change the commandline parameters passed to the putty binary. putty's plink has for example a -i parameter to specify your private key.
Could this be implemented? Its the main (and crucial) reason I am not switching the office to using FileZilla which is further an awesome client!

Hi,
I tried it out using Pageant, and it definitely works. The only downside is that with Pageant, you have to enter the passwords all the time.
But what would be better for FZ3 is to be able to define the private key file and the private key password as part of the site manager.
This is something that CoreFTP has, and would be a great addition to FileZilla!
Thanks,
Joel

May I suggest we follow the Putty scheme. First check if the putty agent can provide a key that works with the remote, if it works do not start the password dialog. If it fails, ask for the password as it is now.joelr wrote:Hi,
