  • Hello!

    I need help with using the SFTP plugin, specifically the Send File Smart Service. I have followed the instructions in the documentation, but I cannot establish a successful connection with the remote server. 

    These are the steps that I have performed: 

    - I have downloaded the rsa file that contains the private key and uploaded it to the privateKeyFile field. 

    - I have created a Third-Party Credentials and added there the username. 

    However, when I try to run the plugin, I receive a timeout error. 

    I have generated a ppk with puttygen and configured the private key with this value but it tells me that the ppk is invalid. 

    The configuration that I have is the following: 

    Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong and how to solve this problem? 

    Thank you very much for your attention and collaboration.

  • Hi, currently we are also facing the same issue. Were you able to resolve this? Any leads/updates would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Bharath
