Connect to CORE SFTP SERVER with WS_FTP
Connect to CORE SFTP SERVER with WS_FTP
Has anyone been able to connect to Core SFTP Server with WS_FTP. I am running core ftp server and I have a user trying to connect with ws_ftp client. They generate public and private keys in ws_ftp. They sent me the public key and I assigned it to the user in core ftp server but they keep getting a "key check failed" error. The core ftp server is working fine with keys generated fro core ftp clients. What setting should they use to generate the keys in ws_ftp? RSA 1024? Do I have to modify the public key file so it will work with Core ftp server?

Thanks, that put me on the right track. I am now able to connect from ws_ftp client to core ftp server by :
I have the user generate the key pair in WS_FTP using: RSA/1024.
They assigned the keypair to their site definition in ws_ftp and they send me the public key. I clean the public key removing extra characters and line breaks/carriage returns, (they show as boxes in notepad) and assign it to the account in core ftp server. Works fine.
Also had success with: Use PuttyGen to generate a key pair. Import that pair into WS_FTP. To import a 3rd party SSH key into WS_FTP client, go to tools -> options -> ssh -> client keys. Once you have clicked on client keys, press ALT + I on your keyboard, you will be presented with a prompt to import your 3rd party keys, follow the steps to import your public and private key pair. User then sends me the public key and I edit it to work with core SFTP Server, (Take out extra characters and hard returns).
I compare to a known working public key that was generated by core ftp client to know what the key should look like.
