Export SFTP server key

Post by Speed103 »

Right now the SFTP server key is encrypted. Is there a way to export the private + public key decrypted? I'd like to use the same key on an SSH server to keep them the same. I did the exports but it appears to only export the public key.

Thanks

Copy over the configuration as described here:

The "certs" subdirectory contains the private key (no extension). You can use openssl with the password you used when creating the "self signed cert" to decrypt it.

Thanks for the reply. I never created a self-signed cert as I never used SSL, only SFTP. Is there a default password it uses to create the SFTP key?
