SECURITY ISSUE: SSH private key password

[emreture]

The way SSH private key password stored is not secure. It's only encoded in base64 and saved (not encrypted) in the .ffs_gui file.

I strongly recommend users not to save your private key password. Re-enter it everytime instead.

I hope this issue will be fixed soon.

Cheers,

You can use the standard FTP syntax with FreeFileSync, i.e.

sftp://username:password@yourserver.com/foldername|keyfile=c:\mykeyfile


and enter the password directly into the folder input field before starting sync.
