Passwordless OCI asking for mandatory password upon connection

[xsyetopz]

How do we connect via our .ppk or .key from WinSCP if it asks for a password that we do not have?

Thanks for reporting the issue. This bug will be resolved soon in the latest version. As a workaround for now, have you tried entering a random value in the password field? It should work regardless of what you type since authentication is handled via the key file.

No, it just errors out as if the connection data did not exist.

Random value for password works for me when using ppk. Are you sure your ppk is configured correctly (on client and server)?

Hi! This was a pain point we heard a lot about. We've built a new project called anySCP that has automatic PPK-to-OpenSSH key conversion built in, so you can use your WinSCP .ppk keys directly without hassle. It also supports importing connections from ~/.ssh/config with one click. Please give it a try!
