Hi , I am trying to connect to sftp server using suitescript . I have been provided url , username and password . In suitescript api i found sftp.connection() function which takes url , username,passwordGuid and hostkey . Shall i put password in place of passwordGuid and where can i obtain hostkey from ? is it same as password ? can anyone guide in this regard .

expect to suffer a little while trying to get it up and running

The link @battk supplied is also the best I've seen to explain the process and some elements of that article I've borrowed to create implementations myself. Once you understand the various moving parts it's not too bad, I'd just say make sure you understand the list of things you can do with the sftp module it's a bit basic.

read this article and you'll be enlighten: https://blog.prolecto.com/2018/10/06/overcome-netsuite-sftp-programming-challenges/

yeah but there's no video with calming music on that article 😄

Thanks @NElliott @Jeremie @battk for helping me out

I used that ursus article and am able to get things working inside the suitelet, but once I copy/paste the password guid over to my scheduled script, it's no longer working. Confirmed that the scriptid is correct for the desired script when creating the guid in the suitelet.
