How to make lftp to use key for authentication for sftp on Linux?
I have successfully enabled password-less ssh login to a remote server, say example.com with username user.
But when I use lftp to log on the sftp by
lftp sftp://user@example.com
it still asks my password. How it make lftp use my private key to logon the remote lftp server?
There is a little trick to make lftp use your private key for authentication. The key is to pass an empty password to lftp as follows
lftp -u user, sftp://example.com
Try this : Hope this will solve your problem
lftp sftp://user:password@host:port -e “get file.name; bye”
you can try any command like this .
lftp sftp://user:password@host:port -e “ls; bye”
