Hello I can sftp to [usegalaxy.org](http://usegalaxy.org) using FileZilla from my local machine here so there would appear to be no problem with the authentication - I can also transfer a file using the Filezilla GUI and pick it up at Galaxy and add it to my store. Problem comes when I try doing the same thing from our SGE cluster command line using sftp - password appears to be getting rejected. I’ve tried removing and reaccepting the keys in my .ssh folder and various combinations of the sftp/sshpass command but always this: [edit] here’s my solution YMMV. The lftp program mentioned in [the Galaxy tutorial](https://galaxyproject.org/ftp-upload/) would work for me locally on Ubuntu or Ubuntu app running under Windows 10. There’s no sudo privileges for users on our cluster so workaround is to wget the [lftp source code](http://lftp.yar.ru/get.html), ,/configure, make, make install then update and source ~/.bashrc with whatever path you now have lftp in. Works straight out of the box following the tutorial after that - Happy Days. ---
