Torrent Client For Mac
Two factor authentication is enabled and I read somewhere one a Microsoft blog, that the newer versions of outlook now support 2 factor authentication. But I can't figure out how, I still have to use an app password. Fetch is a SFTP program for the Mac OS that supports two factor authentication. If you don't already have Fetch you will need to download and install a copy.
In Filezilla you enter the interactive username and password in the connection manager, as in FireFTP, and they are used for just that connection. The other authentication factor is configured in the 'settings' dialogue, in the 'SFTP' node of a tree view. Here you can import a key file, but Filezilla doesn't understand password-protected keys so you have to convert it to a PuTTY key file. During the conversion process you enter the key file password, just one time. Of course this isn't ideal because the key is then held unprotected on the local disk, but it does work at least. After the key is converted, the two-factor authentication works as it should.
I'm guessing, now, but I think that when the server challenges for a certificate FileZilla must just present each of its keys in turn until one is accepted: there is no way to say 'use this key for this connection'. If there were many keys available, perhaps the server would drop the connection before the right key was tried.. I never tried this.
In FireFTP, even if I remove the password on the key file, the second challenge for interactive authentication is not understood.
What FireFTP needs:
o A way to associate a password with a key file (it can already associate a key file with a connection, so in this respect it is better than FileZilla)
o A change to its protocol handler so that when the certificate is accepted and the server responds with a demand for interactive (password) authentication the other password can be sent.

I am trying to follow the instructions here for OSX
I can successfully
ssh
to the target server with no username/password (OSX picks up my certificates from the ~/.ssh
directory), but I have no idea how to get Filezilla to do the same.![Factor Factor](https://thegeekdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/net2ftp-web-client.jpg)
I have tried just running
ssh-agent
which doesn't do much. Dan Rosenstark

You can now use

Recent versions of OSX have the ssh-agent built-in and there is no need to start it separately.
In my case I simply had to change the logon type to 'interactive' in the sites settings in FileZilla and choose SFTP as the protocol.
FileZilla apparently talks with the ssh-agent and handles the authentication. This is better than importing the key to FileZilla, since this way you can keep the file password protected.

You don't need
.ppk
or .pem
keys.- Add your private key to the SSH agent. In Mac, this is
ssh-add ~/.ssh/[your private key]
- if you haven't created SSH keys then run this command firstssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/[give a name for your keys] -C '[your email]'
- 1) Open FileZilla 2) Type host:
sftp://[host ip address you want to connect to]
3) Type username:[your username]
4) Leave password and port fields empty 5) Click Quickconnect
FileZilla will be able to use the keys you've loaded in the SSH agent automatically.

Both instructions on this page tell 3/4 of the story:
Yar is correct: you only have to go to the SFTP settings page to enter your SSH key (which I had to format as a putty key with a .ppk extension - FileZilla will format a normal ssh private key for you if you let it).
ddd is correct that you have to put your login into 'Normal' mode (but you still also need the key entered on the SFTP settings).
But there is one more thing you have to have in your settings - you must allow FileZilla to save passwords. This is in the Preferences -> Interface: If you check the box that says 'Do Not Save Passwords' you will not be permitted to use Normal mode, and then your ssh won't be utilized - you will be prompted for a password.
So, do all three steps:
- Import SSH Key on the SFTP settings page.
- Do not check the box that says 'Do Not Save Passwords' (i.e., allow saving passwords)
- Use Normal mode in the General tab of the server profile settings.
Good luck!

None of these solutions worked for me on MacOS (Sierra, High Sierra, or Mojave). Adding your own key to FileZilla Settings still prompts for a password after reboot.
Add the following to
~/.ssh/config
:Then do this in the terminal:
Then create this file:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/local.computername.AddSSHKeysAtLogin.plist Remote desktop connection client for mac os x.
Put this in it:
Labellocal.mycomputername.AddSSHKeysAtLoginProgramArguments/usr/bin/ssh-add-AStandardOutPath/dev/nullStandardErrorPath/dev/nullRunAtLoad
Reboot and you should be able to use FileZilla without being prompted for a password. It Works!

You have to put your server first in the server manager. Provide the IP/domain and username, and ensure the login type is set to 'normal' then press login.
If you have a working SSH connection to this IP everything will be fine!
