Using ssh key for SFTP
Posted on Feb 19, 2021 at 6:24 AM
Hi! I have no idea, how to use ssh keys for sftp server. At first,there no "All files" in this drop down menu, and second, I don't use passphrase for my key and can't skip it :(

What does the error next to the field say?
Different certificate types need to be processed differently. LogViewPlus supports certificate file types *.ppk, *.p12 and *.pfx. LogViewPlus uses the file extension to make decisions about the type of certificate it needs to handle (*.p12 and *.pfx are considered to be x.509).
I will add the supported file types to the "Security Certificates" prompt. Thanks for pointing this out.

We also need to make it more clear what types are supported. I have already added the file types list to the file browser and it will be in the next release - thanks again for pointing this out.
If you have a pem file, I believe you can use PuttyGen to convert it into a ppk file. If you do not have puttygen already installed, I would recommend downloading it from the official site as part of the standard Putty install.
Thanks again,
Toby
