Hi,

I have tried the latest nightly build and I found a ssh key authentication is not working properly.
Compare with the last release did you changed anything here?

Thanks,

AFAIK nothing changed.

I always been able to ssh with keys, including latest nightly. Haven’t tried Putty though. But works perfectly from a Linux system.

Same here with linux. libssh was updated recently iirc. Make sure to use the latest putty

Thanks for prompt replay. I generated a new key and now working without any issue. My old key is “outdated” it is more than 7 years old :slight_smile: .

It was probably an old DSA key, which aren’t supported by newer versions of OpenSSH anymore.
Only the much more secure RSA keys are supported.
