SFTP job type: Supported SSH key formats

[Andy Reimer]

I started a conversation a few years back about this, but never followed up as other work requirements pulled me in other directions.  We are looking at adding quite a few SFTP jobs and I'd like to re-examine the option of using the built in SFTP job type.

The SFTP host requires both UserID/Pass and key authentication.  As a test I added my user id to the agent, created a SSH key using ssh-keygen and the following argument
sssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -m PEM

I uploaded the public key to the SFTP host and put both the private and public key on the server with the agent.  When I try to run a test job I get a SUBERROR with the following.
"Internal error. Unsupported key format."

is there a specific key format that the agent requires?

Hi,

Going by the error - it seems like  the Unsupported public/private key file format for user authentication.
I will suggest if you can raise a ticket and upload the logs. I think logs will provide more information.
