SFTP and SSH keys

Credentials

In the Access tab, SFTP shows host, port, user and whether a password is set. The port is not 22 but the node daemon's port; the page tells you which. The user name contains the server, so a client with several servers can tell the directories apart. Below, In a terminal: shows the ready-made command to copy.

Host:      node3.citexnode.de
Port:      2222
User:      from the dashboard
Password:  from the dashboard

These are example values. Generate password (or New password) creates a password and shows it exactly once; save it right away, for example in your password manager. If you forget it, generate a new one; the old one then stops working. Disable password turns off password sign-in, SSH keys keep working.

Only the owner of the server sees the Access tab. Members use the file manager.

Clients

WinSCP, FileZilla, Cyberduck or your IDE's file explorer: protocol SFTP, host, port, user, password. Once connected you see the same directory as in the file manager.

SSH keys instead of a password

Under SSH keys in the same tab, Key adds the public part of a key, for example the contents of your ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub, optionally with a name like "Laptop". Your client then picks the right key itself and no password is needed. The list shows each key's fingerprint, when it was added and when it was last used; how many keys a server allows is shown above it.

If you paste a private key by mistake, we do not save it and clear the field. If you have shared it anywhere, generate a new one. DSA keys are not accepted; use Ed25519. A removed key takes effect the next time a connection is made.

sftp -P 2222 user@node3.citexnode.de

The exact command with your user and port is shown under In a terminal:.
