Description
Recently I tried to make use of the sftp feature of FileZilla. But I realized that nor the method
- of adding the privat key to FileZilla
- using the SSH_AUTH_SOCK
worked for me.
I don't know why SSH_AUTH_SOCK is not working. But I guess the problem with adding the id_ed25519 key has to do with the fact, that the file format for encrypted private key has chaned.
The old format seems to be:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC,DEADBEEF1234567891011121CAFFEEBABE
[...]
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
The new one misses the header that says that the following is encrypted.
-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
[…]
-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
So my feature request is to support the new key format that FileZilla is using here.

Well that explains it. You need to update to the most recent version of FileZilla.
Which version of FileZilla are you using?
