SSH FTP Mailbox: SSH FTP Tab
Note: By default, SSH FTP hosts have the REST Enabled advanced property set to
On, which prevents the host from having more than one mailbox. If you want
more than one mailbox for this host, set the REST Enabled advanced property to
Off. See SSH FTP Host: Advanced Tab.You configure the SSH FTP mailbox using a Password and/or one of two Public Key Authentication (PKA) methods. Your Trading Partner should specify the required type(s) of authentication necessary to access your account.
To use PKA, you must create your authentication certificate (see Creating and providing your signing/encryption certificates) and then export an SSH FTP key to send to your trading partner in either OpenSSH FTP Public Key or SSH FTP Public Key (IETF) format. See Certificate management and Exporting certificates. See also Private key authentication.
