I am trying to evaluate this product for use in my company.
Have never done an SFTP xfer, but think I got close.
Reading some of the post I became confused about the key file.
User CP indicated that the host should use the public and the client the private.
Our customer sent us a SSH public key and username. I'm not sure how I am supposed to make that work? Below is the log and obviously the client is looking for a private key, but why did they send me a public? Am I supposed to use it to generate a private key?
Thanks for any help, I'm still digging to try and educate myself on SFTP.
