[@sushmithanomula4567]

This really works, thank you so very much!

[@aldehc99]

Thank you very much for explaining it like that. It makes it easier for everybody to understand how this auth type works.

[@CodeCowboyOrg]

You're very welcome!

[@tulikamal]

Thanks for your video. I'm able to SFTP without passwd, but I can't SFTP to another cygdrive. It's giving me permission denied. Do we need to enable some permission explicitly from USS

[@jagadishkurli]

Thanks for the video,but i got a question here is, the username in this video, KEY2-sftpuser01, can be of any name or this user should have been created in the SFTP server, before?

[@wilsonwooten6870]

Really helped me out, thanks!

[@blackyurizan]

Thanks a lot, this saved me a lot of time

[@ashasaini5828]

did you add key 2 public key in the authorized keys on the server ? I did not see that step

[@momoknz]

Very clear video. Great work. Thank you. One question - how can I script this please (using private public key pair) so the SFTP file transfer happens automatically at a set time (using task scheduler in windows)?

[@dirkbiwoll7324]

You Can Store the Setup in WINSCP (Give him better names than the Demo). Than Generate a batch (cmd) and a scp File. (Sample: CMD, C:\WINSCP\WINSCP /script=C:\WINSCP\Batches\ScriptName.scp /log=C:\WINSCP\LOG\ScriptName.LOG), Sample Script: open CONFIGURATIONNAME option confirm off GET *.* -delete exit With tHis Script io Pull Files from a defined Folder (Saved in SCP Configuration) and Store it to lokal Folder. After Success i delete the Files on FTP)

[@jackwhite3987]

So what about the folder permissions on server side? Assume you have to have it setup where just SYSTEM account specific user account for refill control

[@michaelpietrzak2067]

Your tutorial is very helpful .:) I have a requirment i have 160 ATMs i want them to put a file to my sftp server at a specific time . Can i do that with Winscp ??

[@CodeCowboyOrg]

Ehsan Ul Barr yes, simply use task scheduler to run at that specific UTC time, since you are using WinSCP I'm assuming its Windows

[@alexandrosilva6077]

Where is the authorized_keys? I do not know where it is

[@CodeCowboyOrg]

3:00 - follow the instructions at 3:00, you create that file under the user folder, then under the ".ssh" folder, then you create the authorized_keys file, which is just a text file

[@Ryan-xh6bg]

Awesome!

[@Revnge7Fold]
