Hi team, I'm working on SFTP connection. What is the easy way to generate the host key using SFTP credentials? I have used <https://ursuscode.com/netsuite-tips/suitescript-2-0-sftp-tool/|SFTP tool> to generate the host key but It's throwing an error: *Server did not respond*

Can you ping the server directly from your machine?

If so, then use linux in a Virtual Machine and run the commands to get the hostkey

If server doesn't respond it probably means that it's not accessible from <http://ursuscode.com|ursuscode.com> to gather the hostkey, if you cannot get them to open it up then you'll have to do it from somewhere else
