Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-28 19:33:03] dblais at interplex dot ca Description: ------------ As soon as I'm using array('hostkey' => 'ssh-rsa') in the methods field of the ssh2_connect function, I get the following error message: Warning: ssh2_connect(): Error starting up SSH connection(-5): Unable to exchange encryption keys in [...] on line x. It is triggered by the ssh2_connect function so it doesn't even reach the ssh2_auth_pubkey_file function... I need it to connect with a rsa pair of key. Any idea? I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 with libssh2-0.14 and pecl-ssh2-0.10. Reproduce code: --------------- $connection = ssh2_connect('ip_address', 22, array('hostkey' => 'ssh-rsa')); Expected result: ---------------- it shouldn't complain about its inability to exchange encryption keys, we're not yet at this step. Actual result: -------------- Warning: ssh2_connect(): Error starting up SSH connection(-5): Unable to exchange encryption keys in [...] on line x. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38984&edit=1
