SFTP on SSH and Terminal (MobaXTerm) - MacOS

Hi,

Just to be sure what option we are talking about in RDM Windows, is this the option?



Best regards,

In MobaXterm, I use the SSH Shell connection, I imagine it would be the same in RDM, right?
I didn’t find the option to enable SFTP directly like in the MobaXTerm image.

Hi,

We currently don't support this feature but the closest implementation that we have is right click the entry → “Open with Parameters” → “Open Embedded SFTP Connection”.
Would this solve the issue?

Best regards,

No ;(

My private key no have password.

Hi,

We have a ticket open for this feature, we will get back to you as soon as it is ready to be deployed to RDM Mac.

Best regards,

Thank you, it will be of great help

I ran in to this exact edge case today I believe.

I have a private key with no password that works fine in:
FileZilla - MacOS
MobaXTerm - Windows
RDM - Windows

But when I try to connect on Mac using my non-password protected private key I get:the following error stream in the log:

This seems to be a minor deficiency in the Mac version of RDM, but does prevent me from using RDM for everything I want.

I also tried the options suggested by Jesse above as well.

Hi,
I opened a ticket for the private key issue. I will get back to you when we fix the authentication problem with private keys that don't have a password.

Best regards,

Could you provide an estimate for delivery of this feature?

Hi,

Are you referring to the "SFTP via SSH option"? If so, this is not planned at the moment for RDM Mac.

So we have no delivery date to provide unfortunately.

Best regards,

Hello,

A new version of RDM Mac (2024.1.8.6)
has been released and should solve the issue about the private key not working properly.
Don't hesitate to communicate with us if there's anything.

Best regards.

Unfortunately I still get the same error on my Mac.

Works fine with Filezilla.

Hello,

we are going to reopen the ticket.
Now just to be sure if it is the same problem or something else. Do you know if the password have any Non-Ascii character in it?

Best regards,

In my case I am using a private key that is NOT password protected and not entering a password either since I'm using the key file.

It works fine with plain old SSH. It's just SFTP that causes the issue I noted above which seems to be the same.
