Hi

I have recently noticed a problem, but only when moving from redhat to ubuntu. It relates to gftp. Now I have a server that I cannot to via the command prompt that requires a encyrpted key - which I have set-up with ssh (rsa). I have a password associated with ssh. This is pretty standard. However when I now try and connect to another server which does not require a key - only username and password.

key_read: uudecode AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA7Ip
failed

Enter passphrase for key '/home/XX/.ssh/id_rsa':
Enter passphrase for key '/home/XX/.ssh/id_rsa':
Error: An incorrect password was entered
Disconnecting from site

gftp version: 2.0.18

I have tried looking in the gftp options, but cannot see anything to change relating to any options to eneter any passwords, i.e. on the SSh tabs.

Any advice?

I have had similar problems with ssh when I have reinstalled Linux.
I do not know for sure what your problem is but I can speculate.

A new install generates a new ssh key. The machine your are ftp-ing to may
no longer recognize your machine. (It thinks you are cheating -- it's trying
to protect itself and you). For ssh there is a key file in /etc/ssh.
On the remote host, your public key file is cached. You need to replace the old
key on the remote machine with a new one, or delete yourself entirely and use
the procedure you used originally to establish an account.
