Hi Community!
I am having some issues establishing a secure FTP connection in ColdFusion. The error message that I get is "Invaid Private Key" and refuses the connection. Yes, "Invaid" there is a mispelling there 🙂
This is the code I am using:
<cftry>
<cfftp action="open" connection="myconnection" key="\\server\web\retail\dir\privateKey.ppk" passphrase="pass" secure="yes" server="sftp.server.com" port="22" stoponerror="yes" username="theUsername">
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfoutput>
<cfdump var="#cfcatch#">
</cfoutput>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
I wonder what the problem is here! I'd REALLY appreciate any thougts!
My guess is that SFTP wants the key to be in SSH format, something like this:
