Getting credentials

SFTP connection methods

Basic Username/Password

The basic authentication connection is used to connect to SFTP servers that support username / password login. Consult your SFTP server administrator to determine which login method the server supports.

• Host (Required): The address of the SFTP server. This should be either an IP address or hostname. E.g. sftp.anduin.io
• Username (Required): Username. E.g. john.doe
• Password (Required): Password. E.g. p@s$W0Rd
• Port (Required): The port of the SFTP server. E.g. 2222
• Timeout: How long the client will await the request. E.g. 4000

Private key

The private key connection allows you to access an SFTP server via SSH public/private key authentication. You will need to generate a public/private key pair, and ensure that your public key is stored on the SFTP server that you are connecting to. Then, you can authenticate with the SFTP server using a username and corresponding private key.

• Host (Required): The address of the SFTP server. This should be either an IP address or hostname. E.g. sftp.anduin.io
• Port (Required): The port of the SFTP server. E.g. 2222
• Username (Required): Username. E.g. john.doe
• Private Key (Required): SSH private key. E.g. -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
  abc123...
• Key Passphrase: Passphrase for the private key. Leave blank if none. E.g. p@s$PHr@$3
• Password: Though uncommon, some SFTP servers that use private keys may also require a password. Leave blank if none. E.g. p@s$W0Rd
• Timeout: How long the client will await the request. E.g. 4000
