Using the Github example above as the server in question, that entry in your config file would look like this: Host In an ideal scenario, rather than using a wildcard for the host entry, you would use only the address to which the key actually applies.
If you attempt to SSH into the same server on the command line (with a wildcard address in your config file like the example above), you’ll be prompted for the passphrase the same as you would in Transmit. For the most part, Transmit attempts to match the behavior of SSH on the command line. Since the config file is used by many different apps (Transmit, Terminal, Coda, Git clients, etc.), this is not an optimal way to define the key in your config file. The entry above will cause Transmit to prompt you for your SSH Key passphrase with every SFTP connection, as this key is explicitly defined for all addresses due to the wildcard. Here’s an example of what this would look like in your config file: Host * One common situation would be for Github, as their documentation currently instructs you to configure things this way. Unless you have the passphrase stored in your keychain, Transmit will prompt for a passphrase in order to use the key for authentication. Wildcard ( *) configurations in your SSH config are often not ideal as they will offer these keys for every connection. Right click config and open it in a text editor.If you’ve checked for any unnecessary keys, the next thing to check would be your SSH config file.įirst, open your config file in a text editor of your choosing. If your server isn’t set up to accept these keys, you may run into connection issues.

Otherwise, Transmit will offer these default keys before attempting password authentication. If these key files aren’t being used, delete them or rename them.
In this folder, look for any key files that start with id_ such as id_rsa or id_ecdsa.

Since keys are more secure than passwords, Transmit now favors using them when logging in to your servers.ĭue to these changes, it’s possible you may find yourself in a situation where you are prompted for an SSH key passphrase upon connecting to any SFTP server, like so:Īnother possibility is that you may get an Authentication Failed error with a miscellaneous error code showing up in the Transcript log. Odds are, you set this up on your computer and have completely forgotten about it, that’s why you’re reading this article. What is a key, you ask? It’s a file you can think of as a “super password” that is unique to your computer and the server. As a result, Transmit will now use key files assocated with a server before passwords saved in Transmit favorites. In Transmit 5.6.4 and later we’ve made some changes to improve security while fixing some bugs in Transmit when connecting to an SFTP server. Transmit Transmit SFTP Connection Issues and SSH key passphrase prompts in Transmit 5.6.4 and later SSH Authentication Changes in Transmit 5.6.4Īt Panic we are always balancing security, ease of use and of course fixing bugs.
