In komodo I can’t connect to an SFTP server using private key authentication.
Error:
‘Private key authentication error.
Key file: ‘/Users/XXXXX/.ssh/id_rsa’
Reason: Unrecognized private key format’
Komodo version - 12.01
OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
I am using this key for other purposes so I know it works.
Hi @tgreenemit,
You should only need to add your ssh key to your systems respective keychain (ie. ssh-add path/to/key) and Komodo will use it.
If that doesn’t work, please provide more details about your Komodo preferences server configuration.
I believe it’s related to having a passphrase on the key, as I have tried another IDE that allows a “prompt” for that to be configured and it works. I’ll try removing the passphrase from the key and try komodo again.
@tgreenemit, same instructions apply regardless. ssd-add will prompt you for you keys password before it adds it to your keychain. You shouldn’t need to remove the passphrase.
Again, please elaborate on your configuration and I can help more.
It worked, thank you
I have the same problem under Windows 10:
Error: ‘Private key authentication error.
Key file: ‘C:\Users\v197.ssh\id_rsa’
Reason: Unrecognized private key format’
I am using this key for other purposes so I know it works

Morning @vz187,
Though it’s a similar error, since you’re on Windows, it’s likely to be a very different solution. Please start a new thread. You can link back to this one if it’s identical repro steps.
