“Hoptiter”

Spring!

Ryan Adams’ “Fix It” just shuffled into rotation, and now I’m furious about his behavior all over again.

I finally decommissioned my File Transporter devices. I’ve been on borrowed time with them since support ended in September 2017, and the software was in rough shape on iOS 12 and macOS 10.14.

Jason Corey just published a Mojave update for his Timbral Ear Training software!

I grabbed this shot last week, walking home from the coffee shop during the snowstorm.

SSH Keys with FE File Explorer Pro

Following posts by Dr. Drang and Federico, I’ve been experimenting with FE File Explorer Pro. I learned a few things I thought I’d share:

As I noted previously, I only allow SFTP connections to my server with SSH keys. As of Mojave, ssh-keygen uses a new default key file format that is causing trouble for me on non-Mojave sources. By adding -m PEN to the call, you can force the use of the older PEM private key format:
```
ssh-keygen -m PEM -b 2048 -t rsa -f id_rsa_uniquename -P ""
```
In order for File Explorer Pro to use the SSH key file from the Files extension, the file needs to be in the app’s /Local/ folder, as opposed to /Local/On My iPhone/.
Even though the popover bar includes a ‘Favorite’ button, adding folders on from your SFTP destination to the Files ‘Favorites’ set is not supported by the app.
