Transfer files via sftp through ssh key pairs

Hi Naveen, Any luck on this please? I have similar requirement. Thanks,

Hello satish,

We can generate ssh key pairs outside of Appian(through putty or even windows command prompt).

You need to transfer the public key to the target machine and get it installed there.

Upload the private key file on Appian(Any common application for your org). On the admin console, create a third party credential with the service account through which you need to send the files.

Finally on the sftp node, use these credentials and the private key file uploaded to Appian.

Regards,

Naveen

Hello Naveen, is it possible to send multiple files though SFTP ?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Naveen,

Maybe you can help.

• We have followed your instructions but we're still not able to connect the Smartservice.
• We have created a key pair and are able to connect with a client application.
• We uploaded the private key.
• We created the third party credentials adding "username" and "password"

We are not clear on what to put into the following configuration inputs on the sftp node:

• External system key
• User Per User Credentials: no
• Private Key: =todocument(xxx)
• Known Hosts: ?

Could you please help?

Thank you very much

Hello Satish,

If you have any documentation on this, could you please share it. I am looking to see howto generate ssh keys, etc. I generated keys in PuttyGen, and I am passing the ppk file while connecting, but it complains of having an invalid private key. 
Any help is much appreciated

Hi Mario,

 Did you resolve this issue? If yes, could you please share some insight on it. Many Thanks
