cfftp and Winscp

[apocalipsis19]

Gentlemen,

I am writing a script to connect o a remote SFTP server. The server that I am trying to login to requires a "private key" which is a file that the remote authentication process uses to log you in. In Winscp I browse to the file that is my key. That is in addition to my host server name, username and password. Using cfftp I can specify the host, the username and the password but I don't know what to do when it comes to this file which is my key: filename.ppk.

Any thoughts anybody?

And I need to pass that file so my connection gets established.

Thanks!

Ysais.

As far as I'm aware ColdFusion doesn't support SFTP out of the box,

you'll need to use external libraries (for example

http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/).

Scratch that, SFTP is supported in CF8.

Thanks Mack, Now I am trying to extablish a secure FTP connection and my code is complaining about the attribute connection. I am really troubled since I need to specify a connection name to be able to reuse my connection again. This is my code:

<cftry>
<cfftp action="open" connection="VeratadFtpConnection" fingerprint="#variables.fingerprint#" key=\\server\path\key.ppk passphrase="passphrase" secure="no" server="ftp.server.com" stoponerror="no" username="someuser">
<cfcatch type="any">
  <cfoutput>
  #cfcatch.Message#<br />
  #cfcatch.Detail#<br />
  #cfcatch.Type#<br />
  </cfoutput>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>

What is the complete error message that you're getting ?

Can you get your keyfile via a cffile call?  It may be the mapping there?  If a cffile can see that exact path and dump your key to screen, then it's not that.

The key attribute requires an absolute path.

This is the error message I am getting! Message
