@harkman: Publickey is better for SSH anyway. For sudo, if you can live without the additional password – great. In my environment I can't switch it off. That's why I had to find a workaround.

@Skeeve: Thanks for the link. I will try this eventually. For now we switched to public key based authorisation and disabled password auth. I think this way we can disable requiretty without breaching security.

pseudo-tty option available in WinSCP?

Hello.

Unix ssh client has a option to create a pseudo-tty when establishing a new connection (ssh -t).

Can this be done with WinSCP too?

Background:
We use a CentOS 6 and have blocked root login with SSH
I try to setup the login with WinSCP with a unprivileged user and the doing sudo like described here: How do I change user after login (e.g. su root)?

Problem now is that WinSCP cannot establish a connection because sudo is only allowed if a proper shell is created. Sudo configuration explains:
#

# Disable "ssh hostname sudo <cmd>", because it will show the password in clear.
#         You have to run "ssh -t hostname sudo <cmd>".
#
Defaults    requiretty

As I really do not want to expose any passwords I'd like to keep the sudo config this way.
