The FTP/SFTP plugin can currently use a private key file to authenticate to SFTP servers.
Instead of asking for the private key's password, it should check first to see if
it's available from Pageant, an ssh-agent.

Logged In: YES user_id=935841 Originator: NO Is there a command line ssh and sftp program that is pageant aware? I was thinking it would also be nice if I could use sftp plugin with ssh-agent on *nix. It's a pain to have to keep re-adding my key/passphrase when my native ssh agent already has it. I know that if the plugin used the native tools, it would be 'agent aware', and if the putty/pageant suite had a compatible command line client, it would be easier to solve this problem for both platforms at once. |

Logged In: YES user_id=871658 Originator: YES Yes, Putty includes a tool called plink that allows for automated command-line SSH connections that use its Pageant SSH agent. http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.53b/htmldoc/Chapter7.html TortoiseSVN includes a modified "silent" version of plink that may be useful to jedit. |
