Notepad++ / NppFTP does not work with USING PRIVATE KEY FILE

[Jae Hun Daniel Hwang]

Notepad++ can not connect to the server which is using a ssh key file. ID with PASSWORD is working good, but USING PRIVATE KEY FILE does not work.

Error message is like below…

[SFTP] Host key accepted
[SFTP] Error during authentication: Access denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey
Unable to connect
Disconnected

But, this key is working good with putty/filezila/editplus and so on.
Does anyone know a way to fix this?
It seems a kind of bug.

I have updated the latest npp and NppFTP plugin alike. But there was no difference.
Thanks a lot.

Hello @Jae-Hun-Daniel-Hwang,

I don’t have an environment to test it, so I was checking NppFTP
issues and there has been a similar issue reported with a possible solution
reported at stackoverflow.
