| | It IS in the help file. Can't you just give is the wizard as a separate app before a new release? This lack of functionality ruins WS-FTP for me. |

| The 'maybe' in svang's message doesn't sound promising. I wonder if it is going to be after the Nth revision.
Logically if you require SFTP/SCP you already use a key to access the server via ssh, why did the writers think that everyone would delete their own keys or make things insecure by adding more keys to a secure account. |

| | So is importing an SSH key a feature in the new release of the ftp client? It would seem to me that this would be a major turn off to potential customers not to have this feature. I know its frustrating to me. |

| | Has anyone been able to import SSH keys? I just downloaded the latest 2007 version of WS_FTP_Professional and still cannot see the SSH Import wizard/button. Please confirm if this functionality is in the product or if there is a workaround. Thanks. |

| | WS-FTP is the most non-responsive company I have ever dealt with, so I dumped the program. Try psftp which is free and understands keys, SecurID, etc |

| I just spoke with IPSwitch Tech Support. It has been 18 months and this feature still has not been released. The technician was very polite and helpful on the phone but could not locate any target release date for SSH key import. Apparently, customers either generate new keys whenever they use a new PC or simply purchase a competitive product from another manufacturer. I will need to pursue the latter... |

WS_FTP Pro 2006 does not support importing SSH keys. Ipswitch is aware of this and mayinclude it as anoptionin future releases.
SVang,
WS_FTP Team
Did that happen?
Cause I still need that option!

| Apologize if this is a redundant post (after several seconds I could not see my quoted reply).
Is that option created?
I still need it and still cannot find it!
Thanks

| | The option is available in 2007 client! how do I know this, because after stumbling across the same friggin issue and luckily for me I got some useful feedback; To import a 3rd party SSH key into WS_FTP client, go to tools -> options -> ssh -> client keys Once you have clicked on client keys, press ALT + I on your keyboard, you will be presented with a prompt to import your 3rd party keys, follow the steps to import your public and private key pair. I'm yet to see this documented on the Ipswitch site, but I may be wrong. It's a shame that Ipswitch let themselves down with poor support channels, they have decent products and would be the market leader if they cleaned up their act. But support is terrible.... I've had better support from an outsourced helpdesk in india! |
