    Hi Kamila,

    Could you please try the following in the SshPrivateKeyPath:

    sessionOptions.SshPrivateKeyPath = $"{BRApi.Utilities.GetFileShareFolder(si, FileShareFolderTypes.ApplicationRoot, Nothing)}\AppName\ppk_file.ppk"


    If the above does not work, could you also try adding the port number in the sessionOptions? 

    Best regards,
    Mithun

Hi Mithun,

Sure, this is the part I use for authentication: 

						    ' Setup session options with private key authentication
							        Dim sessionOptions As New SessionOptions()
							        sessionOptions.Protocol = Protocol.Sftp
							        sessionOptions.HostName = "host.com" ' Replace with your hostname
							        sessionOptions.UserName = "myuser"    ' Replace with your username
							        sessionOptions.SshPrivateKeyPath = $"File Share/XXXXX/New_Private_key_OS.ppk" 

									sessionOptions.SshHostKeyFingerprint = "YYYYYYY"
