| 2024-07-22 14:44 | Comment | Possible implementation would be for WinSCP to "expect" a password prompt in the session, prompt for the password and send it back to the server. The session then could be configured to do start with: SUDO_ASKPASS=./mypass sudo sudo /bin/sftp-serverWhere mypass would prompt for the password.The command could even create the askpass script on the fly. Though this all feels like a huge hack and bypass of alls the sudo security features. The best solution is still to use public key authentication for root access. |
