SFTP with key not working

[adjustMan]

Hello, I try to create SFTP with keys. Into the field username I input my name, the PW remain empty.
And then from the folder .ssh “authorized_keys”. But the connection is not made. I see in the log

Code: [Select]

… …

what's wrong? My fault? Any ideas or solution greatly appreciated. Thanks

Without seeing your Yummy FTP Bookmark details window it's not possible to say for sure. It looks like you're trying to login as root? If you want to send your details, maybe better via email

yes, it's my own server. And root account is not denied. Before, only with password, the SFTP functioned without problems.
And yes, I will write a eMail

Got your email and replied. Now I can see the Yummy settings, it's very clear

For anyone else reading, make sure you select your private ssh key file for the SSH Key setting - no other file will work.
