Connecting to the SFTP Server

The BRP Connect portal provides an SFTP URL to connect to. You can add users there with either a randomly generated password or by providing a public SSH key for authentication (recommended). Only SSH public key formats are accepted. Here are some examples of what they look like:
# elliptic curve key example
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIOvwPMKJINWEODRavdC7g6Y+isDF/eDRurSPL4A72uuR

# RSA key example
ssh-rsa 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
You can generate a new private/public key pair with the ssh-keygen utility:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f "~/.ssh/<your_keyname>"

# Linux/MacOS/Windows CMD
cat ~/.ssh/<your_keyname>.pub

# PowerShell
Get-Content $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\<your_keyname>.pub
