After endless tries and almost giving up, I finally managed to get Coda 2 connecting to my web server vis SFTP with public key authentification.
I tried everything from copying the public key and giving it different names, to even creating a file combining the private and public key (desperate fool 
)but all Coda had to tell me was “username or password not accepted by the server. I even went so far to yell at the computer:”WHY does yoru stupid terminal tab connect to the server but SFTP does not?!” – Just as expected, I did not get an answer.
Today I finally came across this thread on the Coda Google Group (https://groups.google.com/group/coda-users/browse_thread/thread/385f6874ea3afd38?pli=1)
So all I had to do was adding my private key to the OS X keychain by running
ssh-add -K .ssh/id_whatever_your_private_key_is
and Coda finally connected.
Nice tip! thanks!
You’re welcome, hope it helps.
How do you like Coda 2?
I start to think that it only looks pretty but that’s all and more and more often I slip back into Netbeans.
But I won’t give up and maybe I can learn to love Coda.
This actually did not work for me. Any other suggestions?
Sorry for the late relpy, I’m still not used to people actually getting here somehow, so I don’t check it that often. Unfortunately I don’t have any other solutions for Coda, and to be honest, I haven’t used it in a while. I guess it was a $75 lesson to find out free solutions may not look as fancy but work much better.
Same problems here, but alas that doesn’t seem to be the universal fix-all we’re all seeking…
Thanks for the tip anyhow…
