I have a client application that supports SFTP with username/password authentication. The remote host I want to connect to using that client application only supports username/key authentication.

Can I somehow make the application connect to the server?

I was wondering : How is this question vague/incomplete/broad/rhetorical/ambiguous? I provided all the details you need to know, and was hoping someone would come up with some linux magic (ssh tunneling perhaps?) – Matthias Vance Jan 12 '11 at 10:01

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

No.

It may be possible using some kind of a sftp proxy but I never saw anything like this.

It should be possible to add exception on the server side for this specific user and allow for password based authentication, but this will be better handled at serverfault.
