Re: sftp using both ssh key and password authentication

Hello Jay,

Am 05.09.2024 um 15:47 schrieb Jay Vaughn <jeffersonvaughn@xxxxxxxxx>:

I have written a MFT utility for the IBM i using all native methods.

I have provided the option of either ssh key or password authentication but
not both.

Have a customer that has a need for both to happen.

When I allow password, I noticed I'm spawning with -o
PreferredAuthentications=password

I assert you don't need to pass any arguments.

If there is a usable authentication key found, it is used to do an authentication try.

If not, ssh falls back to password auth — if the server allows it. If the server only accepts key authentication, you should never reach the point of fallback anyways, because key authentication succeeded.

:wq! PoC
