I don't understand. You're using a key (protected by password) to access the FTP server ?
I didn't test this. I've just test with a regular login/password for SFTP, no key at all.

I had exactly the same issue as described by gerv (java.security.InvalidKeyException: bad p).

After some fiddling around on the SSH-configuration of my server, i found out that the length of the DSA host key used by ssh actually was the problem (2048 bit DSA private host key). I generated a new host key with a length of 1024 bit and the problem was gone.

=> Would it be possible to integrate support for keylength > 1024 bits into the next version of AndFTP?

All in all, this is a really great tool!!!
