I am having this problem on Debian KDE 4.14.2 (Debian "testing" jessie). I am using public key authentication and I can connect fine by the command line, but not in KDE apps:

One workaround if anyone else is having this problem is to install the "ssh-agent-filter" package and then execute "ssh-add /path/to/private_key" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-runtime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011961 Title: sftp connection with password fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kde-runtime/+bug/1011961/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
