Description (last modified by davidsarah)

Currently ssh keys with passphareses raise following exception: twisted.conch.ssh.keys.EncryptedKeyError: encrypted key with no passphrase

Twisted has support for passphrases but currently there is no way in Tahoe-LAFS to acquire the passphrase from user.

The solution for now is just to generate keys without a passphrase, even though source:docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.txt suggests otherwise.
