When SFTP authentication is set to SSH Key, Egnyte supports modern, industry-standard cryptographic key types configured to meet contemporary enterprise security requirements.
SFTP SSH Keys
Each user can add up to 5 keys, and each public key must be in OpenSSH format.
To Add a Key
- Navigate to Settings > My Profile > My SFTP SSH Keys. The SFTP SSH key inventory is displayed.
- To Add a key, click on Create New Key and enter in Key Name and paste in the Public Key.
To Delete a Key
- Navigate to Settings > My Profile > My SFTP SSH Keys. The SFTP SSH key inventory is displayed.
- Click the three-dot menu at the right of the key, then click Delete.
- A Delete SSH Key window opens and asks the user to confirm. Click Delete Key to confirm, or Cancel to keep the key.
Deleting a key takes effect immediately. The key can no longer be used to authenticate over SFTP, and this cannot be undone.
