Using ssh key Sat Jun 22, 2013 5:11 pm • by davidsilva
I'm trying the new version of Hazel v3.1.1, and I'm encountering an issue (I think).

I'd like to set up a rule that will upload a file to a server via SFTP that authenticates using an SSH key. I get as far as putting in all of my server info, username, etc then when I choose my server key, the connect button stays disabled. The only way to enable the connect button, is to put in a password, but I shouldn't need a password since I am using a key.

Any suggestions?

I'll put a fix in the next patch to detect and allow for password-less keys but keep in mind that is not the recommended way to do things. It's strongly advised for security purposes to password protect your keyfile.
