key file authentication for sftp/ssh file transfers
Posted: 27 Jul 21, 14:13

Hello,

I'm new here and feel a little sheepish about requesting a new feature, but it would be nice to get key file authentication for sftp file transfers. I chose this option on the server hosting my albums in order to minimize the surface attack (by not allowing username/password authentication or opening extra ports).

There is no rush as I'm presently using Filezilla to upload the albums.

Hello,

Any update on this ?
Uploading with sftp / scp (and maybe rsync) with a ssh keys (and not just password) would be really useful.
I don't allow password authentication on my servers for security reason.

Regards,
ALX.

Thanks for bumping this case. I'll refresh the todo list. This is something we should support.

Sorry for this taking ages, do you have a machine set up to only allow key authentication for that we can test on?
