Failing that, is there any way of exporting or migrating the users and associated SSH keys?

Thanks, Will

**It is possible to migrate by creating a new SFTP. First, copy the SFTP server configuration and settings from the source region to the destination region. You can use the AWS CLI(Amazon Web Services Command Line Interface), SDKs (Software Development Kit), or AWS Management Console to do this, then copy the user accounts and permissions from the source region to the destination region. You will need to copy each user's SSH(Secure Shell) public key and set up their directory mappings and permissions. Update any DNS or domain name configurations if necessary and test if its working.

    Exactly what I was thinking of doing except....... how do you get their public SSH key? You can only see the fingerprint. (users have been added over time and some before I joined the company so we don't have a copy of them all)

    (also, not really what I was hoping for by 'migrate')
