RE: keeping static ip address alive between restarts

[Chadha, Devesh]

I believe linuxconf has been discontinued in RH Linux.

What's the question? Since this is a Linux list, not a Windows list, I'll 
start with the ssh server on the far end, presumably on a Linux machine.

An ssh server can permit multiple login options. The common Linux sshd uses 
a config file (probably /etc/ssh/sshd_config ... I don't know if this 
location is standard or varies from distro to distro) to specify what login 
options are available. Standard userid/password authentication is governed 
by this line:

         # To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
         PasswordAuthentication yes

I believe public-key authentication is governed by these lines (which one 
matters depends on which type of key you are using):

         RSAAuthentication yes
         PubkeyAuthentication yes
         #AuthorizedKeysFile     %h/.ssh/authorized_keys

In your case, I expect that what is happening behind the curtain is that 
WinSCP tries to make a connection, does not find a private key to send, so 
asks the remote sshd to permit userid/password login ... which it does.

I looked quickly at the Website for WInSCP 
(http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/) and it says that WinSCP does support 
both RSA and DSA keys. it doesn't include the details of how to set up keys 
with this app ... only a general reference to using the keygen program from 
PuTTY ... but I imagine the docs that come with the WinSCP download have 
this information ... I would not assume WinSCP can find keyfiles generated 
by Cygwin apps.

Graphical client for SSH2?

[Eve Atley]

Hi,

I currently have Cygwin running on my Windows laptop as a test enviroment to
log in with SSH2. Now, sure you can run it from the command line in Cygwin,
but these are users who aren't real savvy with technology, and probably
won't have the patience to learn the CLI.

Therefore, I tried installing WinSCP. While I am asked for my passphrase in
Cygwin, the same doesn't occur in WinSCP - I can log in with my user
password, even when I have loaded my public key.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Eve

Use Putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

It's the easiest Windows SSH client to use with zero installation overhead,
etc.

Good Luck! =D
