Using ssh key for SFTP

uudecode — Fri, 19 Feb 2021 09:28:32 GMT

Hi! I have no idea, how to use ssh keys for sftp server. At first,there no "All files" in this drop down menu, and second, I don't use passphrase for my key and can't skip it :(

We also need to make it more clear what types are supported. I have already added the file types list to the file browser and it will be in the next release - thanks again for pointing this out.

If you have a pem file, I believe you can use PuttyGen to convert it into a ppk file. If you do not have puttygen already installed, I would recommend downloading it from the official site as part of the standard Putty install.

Thanks again,

Toby

What does the error next to the field say?

Different certificate types need to be processed differently. LogViewPlus supports certificate file types *.ppk, *.p12 and *.pfx. LogViewPlus uses the file extension to make decisions about the type of certificate it needs to handle (*.p12 and *.pfx are considered to be x.509).

I will add the supported file types to the "Security Certificates" prompt. Thanks for pointing this out.
