17.3. Troubleshooting
- I want to do public-key authentication. How do I generate a key pair with NiftyTelnet SSH?
- You can't. You must generate the key pair with a different SSH program, such as ssh-keygen1 from SSH1 on a Unix machine. [Section 2.4.2, "Generating Key Pairs with ssh-keygen"]
- What do I put in the "RSA Key File" blank?
-
The complete path to your private key file, folder by folder, with
the folder names separated by colons. For example, if your key file
Identity is found by opening the disk
MyDisk, then the folder
SSH, and then the folder
NiftyTelnet, enter:
MyDisk:SSH:NiftyTelnet:Identity
- I cannot get the Scp feature to work. When I try to transfer a file, a window labeled "File: Waiting For Connection" appears for a few seconds and then disappears. No file is transferred.
- According to the author, this problem sometimes occurs if NiftyTelnet SSH is communicating with an old SSH server. Reportedly, sshd1 1.2.25 and newer should work. We saw this problem initially with a 1.2.27 server, but it went away on its own, and we couldn't figure out the cause.
