Using StandAlone Converter with SSH Tunnel and keys, no passwords

[MadCow1]

I'm trying to convert a remote centos 6.5 box that I access via putty with ssh keys,  no password.    I created the local ssh tunnels but the converter requires a username and password.    The linux box is setup for ssh keys only,  no passwords.   Is there a work around for this?

Hello

The workaround is this - edit your sshd_config file and set:

PasswordAuthentication yes

PermitRootLogin yes

More seriously - Converter does not support SSH key login, you have to use password.

Wow!   That's pretty short sighted.   Most Cloud platforms require key access.
