5-4 File and recording transfer

 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 Networked VGA Grid. 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.

 c. Click Upload to upload the file.

 2. Use the Test your key field to test your uploaded key against the secure server, if desired.

 8. Click Apply; if there are any problems the system notifies you with a message: One or more parameter

values are not valid and those were not applied!

The following table describes the options applicable to configuring upload to a SFTP server.
