im trying to establish an sftp connection but i have no idea how to generate passowordGUID - host key and secret. can someone help me

The tool here and video guide is very good explaining it and will make your life easier.

<https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=article_160216486846.html|Secrets Management> is easier and more convenient than using password guids

Though, I have heard that API Secrets are preserved across sandbox refreshes - which could be harmful.

My main issue with the older password guids approach is no listing or management of them anywhere in NS as far as I can tell.

Yeah, very much a case of once you've set up the GUID you're on your own to manage that going forward it's out of sight.

If you are creating a script to just send files to the SFTP server, I would suggest looking into the free SFTP Connector SuiteApp (.../suiteapp/ui/marketplace.nl?sc=-180#/app?id=com.netsuite.sftpconnector)) developed by NS.  No need to re-invent the wheel.
