Hi Jonni
Thanks, that works a dream from my Windows 7 laptop (next step is to
get this working from a Windows 7 VM on OSX....).
As this took me a few stabs to get working smoothly here is a more
verbose guide to connecting to the SDK and Emulator from WinSCP
For those who don't know WinSCP, it's an excellent File Transfer tool
in the style of Norton Commander / Total Commander. It is one of the
easiest ways of transferring files from Wndows to Unix, and for
navigating a remote Unix instance.
Step 1: generate the private and public key
in PuttyGen (bundled with WinSCP)
Choose SSH-2 RSA 2048 bit
Click Generate
Doodle around with you mouse when instructed (and keep doodling until
the key is generated)
Step 2: save the private key
Hit the button save private key.
Choose a suitable name and location, I put mine in the same directory
Sailfish uses:
C:\Users\<your user directory here>\.ssh\SailfishOs.ppk
This is the key that you will use from WinSCP to connect to both the
SDK and Emulator.
Step 3: Append the new public key to the 4 authorized_key files:
Copy the public key from the box at the top of the screen, making sure
you get the whole thing (on my first attempt I only got part of it ...)
The key should start with "ssh-rsa " and end with "==
rsa-key-YYYYMMDD" where YYYYMMDD is the current date.
Open the following 4 files:
C:\SailfishOS\mersdk\ssh\root\authorized_keys
C:\SailfishOS\mersdk\ssh\mersdk\authorized_keys
C:\SailfishOS\emulator\ssh\nemo\authorized_keys
C:\SailfishOS\emulator\ssh\root\authorized_keys
Hit enter, then paste the key (i.e. append to existing content). These
files will now have two keys.
Save
Step 4: Connecting from WinSCP to the SDK
Open WinSCP
Setup a new session:
File Protocol: SCP
Hostname: localhost
Port number: 2222
Private key file: C:\Users\<your user directory here>\.ssh\SailfishOs.ppk
Hit Save and choose a suitable name (e.g. "Sailfish root MERSDK")
Hit Login to connect.
Step 5: Connecting from WinSCP to the Emulator
as for Step 4, using port 2223
Have fun
Chris
Zitat von "Jonni Rainisto" <jonni.raini...@jollamobile.com>:
open puttygen.exe -> create key -> save -> copypaste the key string
from to ui and _append_ it into wanted authorized_keys-file (located
in
c:\SailfishOS\[mersdk|emulator]\ssh\[root|mersdk]\authorized_keys),
so in 4 different files if you want to enable it in both emulator
and sdk and for both root and mersdk users.
I just tested this with WinSCP and it works.

Subject: [SailfishDevel] Connecting to the Sailfish SDK / Emulator
via WinSCP?
Hi All
Has anyone succeeded in connecting to the Sailfish SDK or Emulator VMs
via WinSCP?
Having got a little tired of navigating on the command line, I thought
I would cheat by using WinSCP. However it grumbles at the key format.
The supplied conversion tool PuttyGen does recognise the format either.
Ciao
Chris
