Now that I think about it, isn't this a bug (tweaking the script
from my last post slightly)?

Running the above script (note that SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE is commented
out) does this:
* About to connect() to example.com port 22 (#0)
* Trying 123.45.67.89... * connected
* Connected to example.com (123.45.67.89) port 22 (#0)
* SSH authentication methods available: publickey,password
* Using ssh public key file /home/gary/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
* Using ssh private key file /home/gary/dsa_nopass
* SSH public key authentication failed: Unable to open public key file
* Authentication failure
* Closing connection #0
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/gary/pycurl", line 19, in <module>
c.perform()
pycurl.error: (67, 'Authentication failure')
Obviously the error message is because I have no id_dsa.pub file,
but SFTP authentication doesn't need it anyway, right?
Cheers,
Gary
