How can we transfer file from Adobe Campaign to an external SFTP using the private-public key?

Hi, Subhajit,

have you seen this?

Encrypt Data Files and Push to SFTP (How to)

This is exactly how you can use sftp to make it work.

If this is not working, use file export activity to create a file in your server location, encrypt that file using:

function encryptFile(file) {   
  var systemCommand = "gpg --encrypt --recipient  recipientToEncryptTo " + file;   
  var result = execCommand(systemCommand, true); 
}

Copy and move that file to your SFTP  location using a shell script.

Hope this helps!

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the response.

My requirement is actually different here. I do not want to encrypt the file. I want to send a file to an external SFTP, but I cannot use the username-password for it. I have the private key, public key and the passphrase and can only use them to connect to the SFTP. I tried writing a shell script (curl command) but it does not work. Have you used any such shell script?

Thanks,

Subhajit

Hi Subhajit,

If you have completed this task please provide me the steps how can we include the private key in adobe client console.

We have this requirement as well.

To confirm, Amit are you saying there is NO built in support for SSH auth (Public-Private Key + passphrase) in campaign classic?

I have seen this thread as well File transfer to another SFTP server with SSH key based authentication and it seems to be the same.

Thanks,

Hungy

Update on this for future people's benefit:

We were able to set up the curl command as per below, first by creating the curl string:

var upload = 'curl --verbose -k -T /sftp/<your folder>/incoming/' + instance.vars.filename + ' -u <name of sftp user>: --key <location of private key> --pubkey <location of public key> sftp://<destination SFTP folder>:22/uploads/sftp/in/

Note that

• Both private & Public keys must be specified for the version of CURL that is installed on AC
• destination sftp URL needs to be followed up / (to indicate folder, rather than create a file name)

Then run this in your js/file transfer activity

exec(upload);

}catch(e){

logInfo("ERROR = " +e.message);

}
