lftp problem

[robena]

Hi,

I use on Windows 7 lftp-4.6.3a.win64-openssl to access a bitwise server using a private/public keypair.

Unfortunately, on Windows 10, lftp 4.6.3 spawns as many windows as there are connections (32!), so it's a big annoyance, which may have been fixed with more recent versions.

The control file starts with:

set sftp:connect-program 'id_rsaNP'

id_rsaNP is a file that starts with:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That works, but with lftp-4.6.4.win64-openssl I get "key verification failed"

With lftp-4.7.7.win64-openssl, I get:

"cd `/d/caps' [Unable to negotiate with 71.187.159.6xx.xx.xx.xx port xxxx: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-dss]"

What can I chanage to make 4.7.7 work?

Why not use latest version :- http://lftp.yar.ru/

4.8 does not seem to be available on Windows yet. Am I wrong?

Sorry about that.
It's been several years since I last used lftp, thought it would be upto date at link I provides.
Quick search reveals this :- https://github.com/userdocs/lftp-windows#introduction

Thanks, that's a set of interesting tools. I'll give it a try.
