SFTP problem
« on: December 09, 2025, 23:45:13 »
I tried connecting to SFTP (see attached image with configuration), but the connection failed (see log). The same configuration (without password) with the same certificat works in the WinSCP SFTP client (winscp.net/eng/). Where could the problem be?

if you do not check the "Do not verify keyfiles" it will verify them..

If you upgrade to latest beta it will log move what is happening.

Might be that the keyfile format is not support. I know that the format it supports is the one that PuttyGen generates

I am using version Multi Commander v15.6 (Build 3119) (64 bit). Is there any newer beta version (where)?

OK, I have last beta version 64bit v.15.7 build 3123. Certificat (both) was generated by PUTTYgen, but results are the same as yesterday :(
I have tested both "Do not verify key file" checked and unchecked.
I have tested two certificates (first without password, second with password) - both in WinSCP SFTP client work flawlessly but in Multi Commander not :-(
There are log files in attachment - two from Multi Commnader (for both certificates) and one from WinSCP client for comparision.
