Re: [lftp] Fwd: sftp with an encrypted key
Currently it is not possible as ftp does not ask for passwords asynchronously, and the need for password arises only during the connection phase. 4:23, ср, 10.12.2014, Andrew Schulman and...@utexas.edu: Specify the passphrase for the key as password for the connection. In the example you have provided, you have specified an empty passphrase, thus it failed to decrypt the key. If you don't want to give the passphrase in cleartext, don't specify a password in the URL and lftp will ask for a password, type the passphrase at the prompt. Thanks. Now, is there a way to get lftp to prompt me for the password if the key needs one, and not prompt me if it doesn't? As far as I can tell, I can either specify open sftp://cyg...@cygwin.com and always be prompted, or open sftp://cygwin:@cygwin.com and never be prompted. Is there a way to be prompted if and only if the key needs to be decrypted?

(A key loaded in a running ssh-agent also works fine, without the above.) But if the key is encrypted, the password prompt seems to be blocked: $ lftp sftp://cygwin:@cygwin.com lftp cyg...@cygwin.com:~ set sftp:connect-program ssh -a -x -i /path/to/key lftp cyg...@cygwin.com:~ ls `.' Delaying before reconnect: 30 The text `.' Enter passphrase for key '/path/to/key': sometimes appears briefly on the screen. Eventually the connection fails. It seems that lftp is blocking the password input from the console. Is this a known problem? Any idea how hard it would be to fix? lftp 4.6.0 in Cygwin x86_64.
