SFTP - SSH Keys

Question

Hi all!

I've managed to set up an S3 bucket and an SFTP Server. Upon adding users to the server, I am prompted to enter an SSH public key. I have used PuTTY Key Generator on my laptop to generate the keys (both private and public). However, when i try to paste the SSH public key, I receive the message 'Failed to create user (Unsupported or invalid SSH public key format)'. Can anyone please advise what I could be doing wrong? TIA

Hello, could you confirm that the key entered aligns with one of our supported algorithms?

For ED25519:
* ` ssh-ed25519`

For RSA:
* `rsa-sha2-256`
* `rsa-sha2-512`

For ECDSA:
* `ecdsa-sha2-nistp256`
* `ecdsa-sha2-nistp384`
* `ecdsa-sha2-nistp521`

If it does, and you're still experiencing issues, could you confirm that you're using PuTTYgen on Windows?
