seamless sftp connectivity

Hi our customers asked us to provide an external sftp server to transfer data via sftp, we create new server (via AWS) and created a new user with provided a home directory, .ssh directory was created.

Once the customer provides two files:

1. private_sftp_key-2013-10-dsa.pub

2. private_sftp_key-2013-10.pub

We added the private_sftp_key-2013-10.pub to authorized_keys and provide chmod 700 permissions (follow this guide - https://www.jscape.com/blog/setting-up-sftp-public-key-authentication-command-line

but still, it keeps asking for the password.

what do we miss? 

Thanks

hi @avri ,

 

You need to use a js activity to transfer files from your sftp to ACC as the sftp is not hosted on acc server.

Or easiest solution will be to use AWS (s3 bucket) directly as external account

Thanks,

David
