Using private key AND password with FTP Activities Pack

Hi all,

I need to connect to an SFTP which requires both a private key file and a password to connect. I can connect using FileZilla manually, but when trying to connect via the FTP Activities pack in UiPath I get the following errors:
With key file, without password:

  • FTP Scope: No suitable authentication method found to complete authentication (password).
    With key file, with password:
  • FTP Scope: Permission denied (password).

Is there a way to connect to an SFTP using a key file AND a password with the FTP Activities Pack.

Thanks!

Are you using UiPath.FTP.Activities? If so, what version? Can you show the properties of the activity?

Hi, yes I’m using UiPath.FTP.Activities version 2.3.0.

I have this activity working in a different process that just requires a private key, but this process specifically requires a private key and a password.

These are the current properties, but I have tried a few different combinations.

Thanks.

Have you tried specifying the port? I believe it should be 22 for SFTP connections.

Hi, apologies for the delay. Yes, I’ve specified the port number.
At the moment, I can log in with the private key and password via FileZilla, so I currently need to use the UI activities with FileZilla. I would prefer to use the FTP activities, but cannot seem to get it connected.

Converting the ppk security file to openssh and ensuring SFTP is selected in the properties panel seems to have fixed this issue!

Thanks!
