This means I would have to make a script that continually checks to see if Pageant is running and start it if it is not which would be an unreliable way to do it but if I have no choice I may have to.Īny suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Every script I make needs to stay open for Pageant to continue running and I have failed to be able to make it a service. I am sure somebody must be doing this but I guess my first question is to confirm if it is possible to fully automate authentication with a key file and host key fingerprint? My second would be if I should be doing this another way? Perhaps there is a way to make Pageant run all the time.

Supports -filezilla and /script but not -hostkey Supports -hostkey but not -filezilla nor /script I moved on to use Filezilla and have found that to connect to my provider I need to use the hostkey command but the two do not seem to be compatible. I originally start to attempt full automation, authentication through Pageant before I discovered that it appears that is cannot be set up as a service or similar. So I have been at this for a couple of weeks now with no success, some of us are a bit slower than others.
