Re: sftp using both ssh key and password authentication

SK - I was anticipating your email reply but never saw it come through.
apologies for that... I'll go back and look for it.

So clarity from the customer states... it is definitely both ssh key auth
AND password authentication... Even showed me how WinSCP can do it...
So can the IBM i?

Winscp shows this... (can't attach image so...)...

Searching for host...
connecting to host...
Authenticating...
Using userName "blah".
Authenticating with public key "blah@xxxxxxxx"
Further authentication required
Authenticating with pre-entered password
Authenticated
Starting the session...

So... can the IBM i do this as an sftp client?

thanks

Jay

I have provided the option of either ssh key or password authentication

not both.

Have a customer that has a need for both to happen.

SSH keys usually have passwords to decrypt them (although not required).

Wouldn’t that satisfy your customers requirement?
