Setting up SFTP access

Create .ssh Directory

Open a terminal and navigate to your home directory:

cd ~

Check if the .ssh folder already exists

ls -a

If it doesn't exists, create it:

mkdir .ssh

Generate Public Key

Running the following command:

ssh-keygen

In the .ssh folder, you will find id_rsa (private_key) and id_rsa.pub (public_key).

Send the contents of id_rsa.pub to Alby.

Send Data to SFTP

Once alby creates the SFTP user, you are able to send data. alby will provide you with the username and SFTP endpoint.

Log into SFTP from the terminal:

sftp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa sftp_user@service_endpoint

Replace sftp_user with the provided username and service_endpoint with the provided endpoint.

For example:

 sftp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa [email protected]

After connecting, you can send data to SFTP using the put command.

For example:

put /Users/alby/Desktop/Work/Repo/alby.json

Replace the path with the full path to the file you want to send.

These steps will help you create a public key for SFTP and send data to the SFTP server.
