SFTP Connection with PPK file

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone worked on establishing an SFTP connection in extensibility rules using a PPK file? I am currently facing an issue where, despite setting the SshPrivateKeyPath property in the session options, I receive the error: "No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)."

Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Mithun

    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 Kamila,

      I hope this message finds you well.

      Please follow the steps below to set up the SFTP connection:

      1. Save the .ppk file into the fileshare folder.
      2. Use the .ppk file in the sessionOptions variable (SshPrivateKeyPath) 

      If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

      Thank you,
      Mithun
