The local folder that is written to in the case of a GET operation.

In the case of a PUT operation, the RemoteFolder represents the remote destination folder. For example, this can be / or /sftpRoot or /mysftpFolder, in the case of a GET operation. The RemoteFolder indicates the remote SFTP folder where the specified RemoteFile exists. The remote file that is downloaded in the case of GET operation In the case of a PUT operation, the remote file represents the file to which data is uploaded.
#PUBLIC FTP TEST PASSWORD#
Confirm the pass phrase by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box. Then, in the Private Key Pass text box, specfy the pass phrase that you provided at the time of generating the key pair. However, if you had chosen to specify a different location for storing the key pair, then make sure you specify that path here. When generating the key pair, if you had chosen to store the key pair in the default location, then your Private Key File specification will be: /home//.ssh/ folder (on Unix on Windows, this will be C:\Users\\.ssh folder).
#PUBLIC FTP TEST FULL#
For this, specify the full path to the id_rsa private key file against the Private Key File parameter.

To enable the eG agent to connect to the SFTP server, you need to configure the eG agent wilth the path to the private key file on the local host. Once the keys are generated, you will need to store the private key in agent host, and copy the public key to the SFTP server. The private key is named, id_rsa, and public key file is named, id_rsa.pub. Public key authentication involves generating a public key and private key, known as the key pair, on the eG agent host.
#PUBLIC FTP TEST HOW TO#
To know how to configure public key authentication using SSH for an SFTP server, follow the instructions detailed in Configuring Public Key Authentication for a Secure FTP (SFTP) Server. To enable the eG agent to emulate a file transfer via SFTP, you first need to secure the communication between the eG agent and the SFTP server using public key authentication. Instead of a password, the procedure uses a cryptographic key pair for validation. This is a secure logging method using SSH. Secure FTP servers are protected using public key authentication. Private Key Path, Private Key Pass, and Confirm Password In this case, you will have to manually confirm the password by retyiping it in the Confirm Password text box. On the other hand, If such a Password Profile does not pre-exist, then proceed to manually specify the credentials of a user who can connect to the SFTP server, against the User and Password text boxes. In this case, the User, Password, and Confirm Password text boxes will be automatically populated with the credentials stored within the chosen Password Profile. If you have already configured a password profile in eG, which contains the credentials of a user with rights to connect to the SFTP server, then select that Password Profile from this drop-down list. Password Profiles in eG enable centralized creation and maintenance of user credentials. Password Profile, User, Password, and Confirm Password. The port number on which the FTP server is listening.

The hostname (or IP address) of the FTP server. Configurable parameters for the test Parameters Outputs of the test : One set of results for each SFTP server monitored. For the specified operation, this test measures the availability of the SFTP server and its response time.Īgent deploying the test : An external agent The operation may either be a GET or a PUT. This test emulates a user connecting to an SFTP server (on Windows/Unix) and performing an operation on the server. In computing, the SSH File Transfer Protocol (also Secret File Transfer Protocol, Secure FTP, or SFTP) is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management functionalities over any reliable data stream. This protocol assumes that it is run over a secure channel, such as SSH, that the server has already authenticated the client, and that the identity of the client user is available to the protocol.
