phpseclib sftp connect with private key and password

Question

Is there anyway to connect the sftp with both private key and ftp password by using phpseclib or any other method.

Answer 1

It's kinda rare that SFTP servers use both password and publickey authentication. My guess would be that what you most likely have is a password protected private key. If so you can login thusly:

setPassword('whatever');
$key->loadKey(file_get_contents('privatekey'));
if (!$sftp->login('username', $key)) {
    exit('Login Failed');
}

print_r($sftp->nlist());
?>

If indeed your server truly is doing both the following should work:

setPassword('whatever');
$key->loadKey(file_get_contents('privatekey'));
if (!$sftp->login('username', $key) && !$sftp->login('username', 'password')) {
    exit('Login Failed');
}

print_r($sftp->nlist());
?>
