Fingerprint verification for FTP SSH transfers?

Rogier · #1 01-20-2009, 11:37 AM

I was happy to see the new SSH support in the FTP action. Works great!

One question tough about the 'Verify host fingerprint' option: when I enable it (and fill in some random numbers), it still works fine. So the check does not seem to happen?

I noticed the manual recommends to connect once, and copy the key from the build output - I tried this (the upload worked fine, using SSH2) but I didn't see any fingerprints in the output.

How do I get the fingerprint, and how do I make sure the verification works?

There is a bug -- when selecting SSH1 or SSH2 (rather than SSH) in the Protocol field, the fingerprint is not logged or verified. This is fixed in the latest download.

Ah, thanks, works fine!

One small thingy: I noticed when breaking a build (or closing VBP and clicking 'yes' to break the build) while an SSH transfer is in progress, it takes very long (like 20 seconds) before it cancels.

In the mean time, the transfer progress is not increasing, so I'm not sure what it's doing..?

Apparently the SSH component is still doing some cleanup. To force VBP to exit without waiting, click Close again.
