Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Configured sftp still requires password Post 302178917 by wempy on Wednesday 26th of March 2008 03:04:45 PM

PS don't forget to check the ownership and permissions on the files in ~/.ssh/

I like to keep mine very restrictive at 0700 for the directory and 0600 for the files, the maximum that OpenSSH seems to allow is 0644 for the files.

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command] hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command] DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally. OPTIONS
