AFU to a secure FTP server
2. Specify the target Server address. If your system is configured with DHCP or has a valid DNS
), you can use the server’s fully qualified domain name instead of
the IP address.
3. Specify the Server Port used for the target SFTP server. The standard port is 22.
4. Enter the SFTP account username in the Login field.
5. Enter the SFTP account password in the Password field; the characters are masked with dots.
(Alternatively you can choose to use a private key instead of a password for authentication.)
6. Select Use temp file to name files with a temporary filename extension (.part) on the server until
upload is complete.
For secure file transfer you can upload an SSH identity for your Pearl. This key must be
trusted by the destination server. Details for generating the key and setting up this trust
are beyond the scope of this document.
7. If desired, scroll down to the section labelled SSH identity for SCP and SFTP clients.
1. If no identity is uploaded, or to upload a new identity (overwrites the old identity):
a. Click Choose File; a file selection dialog opens.
b. Select the private key file from your hard drive and click Open.
The system accepts RSA keys for SSH-1; DSA, ECDSA, EC25519 and RSA for SSH-2.
Keys must be in OpenSSH format.
