Also Far-NetBox seems to be a good up-to-date alternative (based on WinSCP plugin):

Try to upgrade to PuTTY/Pageant 0.62.
See https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/pageant-backwards-compatibility.html

It looks like it happens only under Windows 7.
pagent 0.61
Putty SSH sessions works fine without passphrase requests.

I know it won't help you much but this combination works for me well.

I have PuTTY Agent 0.62 and WinSCP plugin for FAR Manager 1.62 and they work together without problems. I didn't have to set up anything in particularly, it just worked from the very beginning. Windows 7 x64, both programs are x86 though.

I only set host name and user name in session settings, no password, no private key file.

It could be two things:
- When pageant prompted for the pass key, you provided a wrong password and thus the private key wasn't opened. Double click pageant to see if you see your private key in the list.

- Your public key on the server is inaccessible for the server. Wrong location or file/directory permissions.

You could try connecting via SSH (PuTTY) to see if the key from pageant is used.

btw: You should create a separate thread for this problem. It's not related to this topic.

One more problem:

I have PuTTY agent running with my key opened, but on Windows 7 WinSCP plugin doesn't act with my PuTTY Agent.
It claims session password instead, or Key passphraze if i write the Key File in session configuration.

On the other machine with XP installed it works fine.

Far 1.75
WinSCP 1.5.1 and 1.6.2

Ok. Thank you anyway. I appreciate your effort.
Replacing 64 bit FAR Manager with its 32 bit version has fortunately no side effects.

Atm, imposible. C++Builder does not support x64 yet.

Darn, I didn't realize that. Would it be difficult for you to compile the plugin as a x64 library?

Only now I have noticed that you have x64 version of FAR. AFAIK, there's no way to load x32 DLLs into x64 process.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

This setup works for me on 32bit Win7. I'll test 64 bit.

Hi, I'd like to bring this topic back to life.

Windows 7 SP1, 64bit
FAR Manager 2.0 build 1807 x64
winscpfar162setup.exe

WinSCP plugin isn't recognized by FAR Manager.
It doesn't show in Plugins Configuration (menu/Options), Plugin Commands (F11) or drive selection window.

It used to work with
Windows XP SP 3, 32bit
FAR Manager 2.0 build 1807 x86

I even tried migrating registry settings from the old FAR. I see WinSCP is included in the reg file - e.g.
[HKCU\software\far2\PluginsCache\C:/Program Files/Far2.0/Plugins/WinSCP/WinSCP.dll]
However, after I import it, FAR Manager removes this branch from registry. Other migrated settings is kept.

I use FAR with WinSCP plugin in my daily work. I can't really imagine what I would do without it. Pretty please, help.

Thank you ) ... It will be great if it is working!

Thanks. I'll check it once I have Win7.

Hi,

FAR Plugin 1.6.2 WinSCP 4.1.9

After installing plugin, it doesn't set into far disk panel and no information about it in plugins configuration panel.


Thanks.
