About SSH Client Certificates

SSH (Secure Shell) is a security protocol that is used to make a secure connection to a server that has the SSH and SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) protocols installed. SSH encrypts all communications to and from the client and server. When MOVEit Automation makes an SSH connection, it uses the SFTP protocol to transfer files to and from the server over the secure connection.

Using MOVEit Automation, you can:

• Create new private/public SSH Key pairs.
• Import SSH Keys to use for SFTP connections.
• Connect to SFTP hosts using an SSH Key.
