Hi all,

i need to connect my AEP sandbox to an external service with an SFTP connection.

Where should i generate the public and private keys for the security? is there an AEP functionality to handle this credentials?

Thanks a lot

@nick_2024 You can use tools like OpenSSH Client to generate the SFTP public and private keys. Once it's done, you can use to create a SFTP connection using SSH public key. Here is the AEP documentation by which you can generate the keys:

Once the keys are generated, refer to the below documenation to create a SFTP source connection with AEP.
