Generating an SSH key pair (WS_FTP Professional)

You can generate an SSH key pair for use in authenticating an SSH connection to a server.  Before you can use any SSH keys you create, however, you must provide the public key to the server administrator to install on the server.

To generate an SSH Key Pair:

  1. From the main window, select Tools > Options.  The Program Options dialog appears.
  2. Select SSH > Client Keys.
  3. Click Create. The SSH Client Key Pair Generation wizard appears.
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the wizard.
