Generating Key Pairs (Magic xpi 4.9)
To work with SFTP, you need to generate public or private key pairs for client authentication purposes. To do this, you can use any key generation tool, such as PuTTYgen.
To generate a key pair:
-
In the PuTTY Key Generator window (below), click Generate to generate a new key pair.
-
Next, click the Save public key and Save private key buttons to save the new key pair.
-
Register your public key in the SFTP server.
-
Define the private key and its password in the FTP resource.
