SSH Keys for SFTP

You can use SSH (secure shell) keys when establishing an SFTP connection using the N/sftp SuiteScript module. By using SSH keys, you can manage files and directories using the SSH file transfer (SFTP) protocol. For more information, see N/sftp Module and Supported Cipher Suites and Host Key Types.

Your SSH keys are private and NetSuite stores them securely. Your keys can be uploaded on the Private Keys page at Setup > Company > Preferences > Keys. You can also work with keys using SuiteScript, including creating, loading, and deleting keys. For more information, see N/keyControl Module.

Note:

Only administrators and users with View level of the Key access permission can upload and access keys information. For more information, see NetSuite Permissions Overview.

The following encryption algorithms are supported: ECDSA, RSA, and DSA. For more information about supported communication protocols in Suitescript, see Supported Cipher Suites and Host Key Types.
