Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)

2017-03-27 07:31

Hi there, how to fix this error, please..

Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)
Authentication log (see session log for details):
Unable to use key file "C:\doaprivatekey.pkk" (unable to open file)
Using username "npcs".

Authentication failed.

My Code in C#:

SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions
{
   Protocol = Protocol.Sftp,
   HostName = "xxx.xx.xx.xxx", 
   UserName = "npcs",
   Password = "",
   PortNumber = 2022, 
   SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
   SshPrivateKeyPath = "C:\\doaprivatekey.pkk",
   PrivateKeyPassphrase ="xxxxxxxx",
};
 
using (Session session = new Session())
{
   session.SessionLogPath = @"D:\1gfmas\dev\winscpError.log";
   session.Open(sessionOptions);
 
   TransferOptions transferOptions = new TransferOptions();
   transferOptions.TransferMode = TransferMode.Binary;
 
   transferOptions.FilePermissions = null;
   transferOptions.PreserveTimestamp = false;
   transferOptions.ResumeSupport.State = TransferResumeSupportState.Off;
 
   TransferOperationResult transferResult;
   transferResult = session.PutFiles(@"D:\GPGFILE\*", "/IN/", false, transferOptions);
   transferResult.Check();
}

So that the C:\doaprivatekey.pkk file exists? Does the nameserver\administrator2 account have a read access to the file?

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, set Session.SessionLogPath. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

Getting "no supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)

I started getting today this all of a sudden when I tried to log in; no problem logging in earlier today. I know I didn't change anything in WinSCP, so what could the problem be?

@fractalbob: Can you login anyhow? In WinSCP GUI? Or using any other SSH/SFTP client?

@nitinJadhav: Start here:
Why I cannot connect/transfer using script, when I can using GUI (or vice versa)?
If it does not help, we need session log files both from GUI and your code.
