How can I remove an ssh key?

Post by CoreFTPGuy »

I didn’t generate ssh keys, core just responded to the sender issuing that as a one-time request.

Now I need to delete that ssh key, so my coreftp will accept the ssh key again from that trading partner (as a one-time accept).

How do I delete such? On Windows XP. Deleting the site entry in CoreFtp didn’t seem to help (do I need to reboot, too?).

Here’s what our trading partner mentioned and suggested (but we don't know where / how to delete the ssh key).

Since we are not seeing any connection attempts from you, it seems to be a SSH key issue. Can you delete your existing SSH key for your connection to us. When you try to connect again, with no key, it should prompt to accept the SSH key from us. Once this key is accepted you should be able to connect. Please let us know if this resolves the issue.



(nb: we purchased CoreFTP (we’re still on V2.0 didn’t upgrade yet)

Older builds will need to delete them manually via regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FTPWare\CoreFTP\SSH\SshHostKeys

Find the IP/Host and delete it.

Tried that, removed the host, and worked on one server, but on the main server of interest, removing those regedit entries still didn't result in allowing the sender to re-send the key. As though another issue might be layered.

If you aren't able to install a more recent version, try checking the advanced -> ssh -> use putty compatible ... option, and try again..
