Hi Bruce,

Unfortunately you can't do that. The Password Is mandatory for the SSH Protocol and is required by the SSH Protocol specification. That's why component will give you an error right away.

Bruce,

but if you put anything into the password, component always tries to connect with no password anyway. That's what most SSH clients do.

However, it's different to have no password, and password set to empty string - second one just isn't supported. Makes no sense to have empty password in security environment such as SSH.
