sftp client - for Windoze


Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a Windows SFTP client that supports the use of client keys for password-less login? I've (finally) got it all setup nicely and all the Linux/OSX clients can do it - I thought Filezilla could but it asks for a password (not the password for the key).

Darn it! If anyone else has come across this problem and swiped it away like a pesky fly then please let me know, I'd really appreciate it.

PS I would ask this on a Windows forum but I'm sure they'd go "SFTwhat? OpenSSyawhoo?

Click this link for the PuTTY installer. When you use the all-in-one installer, it gives you pscp, psftp, pagent, plink, and puttygen in addition to putty. puttygen saves keys in a proprietary format, but when you generate a new key the top of the window shows you the OpenSSH public key that you can copy & paste. psftp can use keys (w/o passphrase, as long as you generate the key w/o passphrase). pscp and psftp are command-line programs, so be sure to add their directory to your PATH variable in Windows.

I was just looking at WinSCP and it directed me to the Putty site as it only supports the Putty key format. Looks like that's the one then!

Thanks for the tip, it's much appreciated - reading marketing bumpf for different FTP clients was getting a bit boring!!!
