SSH & SFTP

[charriso]

Hello. I am having problems getting sftp backups to complete to the WingFTP server. Here are the details:

1. The originating server creates its own RSA public key
2. I cut and paste that key into a notepad (.txt) file and place the file in the Wing FTP root directory.
3. I created a user with no password and enable SSH Public Key Authentication on the Wing FTP server. The key path is the path to the .txt file I created.
4. I give the user directory all access permissions (read, write, delete, etc).
5. I initiate a test connection from the originating server. Below is the output from the Domain Log:

[02] Wed, 10 Sep 2014 10:56:27 (0000727) Connected from 10.220.46.8 (local address 10.211.26.190, port 22)

[02] Wed, 10 Sep 2014 10:56:28 (0000728) Connected from 10.220.46.8 (local address 10.211.26.190, port 22)

6. It appears that the user is logged in correctly via SSH, but the next step in the process is to transfer a dummy file and delete it. I cannot complete this part of the process. It is as if the Wing FTP server won't let the remote server write the file.

7. I have not been able to get the .txt file to be recognized on the Wing FTP server via the SSH key manager. I gave up on that as it appears I am authenticating successfully, I just cannot transfer any files. I am wondering if this is where my problem lies.

8. All works if I select ftp, (below is the output). My problem is that I must use sftp for these backups.
