Save Password Preference Not Working
« on: January 28, 2006, 11:44:02 PM »

Even though I have elected to have an FTP server password saved to my keychain, I still have to enter the password each time I connect to the server.  Anybody else have this problem?

First I have heard of such a problem. My initial suggestion would be that the Keychain entry is incorrect / doesn't match the host, or is inaccessible by Yummy FTP, so please check that. Other than that, I suggest to send screenshots of your Bookmark editor window (both tabs, please) to the support email address for me to check, or alternatively send me your Bookmark file. I'll also need to have the exact text of the 'Where' field in the Info window for the Keychain entry in the Keychain Access application. This way, I'll be able to tell you what is happening.

Thanks,
Jason

I wonder if there is a problem with my keychain?  For instance, when I just logged-in to this forum no option appeared for adding the forum Web site to the keychain.  Ditto when using YummyFTP. Otherwise, the keychain has been operating normally.

I checked the keychain using the Keychain Access utility. YummyFTP is listed as having access when I want to log-in to the FTP server.

I've solved the problem with Mojo's keychain via email support. The problem was that when he saved his Bookmark originally, the 'Use keychain' option was disabled and so his password was stored in the Bookmark file itself. This meant that making a connection using the New Connection window could not access the password. By editing his Bookmark and saving it again when the 'Use keychain' option was enabled, it forced the password to be removed from the Bookmark and placed into the Keychain. Now the New Connection window and the Bookmark can both access the password by using the Keychain.

In the 1.1.6 version of Yummy FTP that is to be released shortly, the 'Use keychain' option will be enabled by default, which will avoid this confusion in the future.
