FTPDLX.SBX private key authentication

Scroll Prev Top Next More

FTPDLX.SBX enhancement: new parameters for private key authentication:

xcall FTPDLX, host, user, password, localpath, hostfile, hostdir, opcode, status {,port {emsg {,privkey {,passphrase}}}}

privkey (string, in)

contains the filespec of private key file in OpenSSH format. If specified and non-blank, FTPDLX will use public/private key authentication rather than standard password authentication.

passphrase (string, in)

is the passphrase for the private key. May be omitted if the private key is not passphrase-protected.

As an additional enhancement, you may now pass encrypted strings for the password and/or passphrase parameters using MX_PWCRYPT to encrypt them, using mode 1, 2, or the new mode 3 encryption.
