Connecting to SFTP Server with SSH Private Key
Requirements:
An SFTP client software, such as FileZilla, WinSCP, or Cyberduck.
The hostname, username, and private key file of our SFTP server. You can find these in 1Password or by asking a developer with administrator privileges.
Steps to Connect:
Open your SFTP client software and create a new connection profile.
Enter the hostname, and username of our SFTP server in the corresponding fields.
In the advanced settings, select the option to use SSH private key for authentication and browse to the location of your private key file on your computer.
Save the connection profile and click on connect.
You should see a message asking you to confirm the fingerprint of our SFTP server. This is a security measure to ensure that you are connecting to the right server and not a malicious one. Compare the fingerprint with the one we provided you and click on yes if they match.
You should now be connected to our SFTP server and see a list of files and folders on the remote side. You can drag and drop files between your computer and the server to transfer them securely.
Congratulations! You have successfully connected to our SFTP server using SSH private key.
