for sftp configuration with financial institution, how do i connect to root

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, to connect to a financial institution via SFTP from NetSuite, you will need to follow these steps: 1. Generate SSH Keys: You will need to generate a pair of SSH keys (public and private). The private key will be used in your SFTP connection configuration in NetSuite, and the public key will be given to the bank. You can generate these keys using a tool like PuTTYgen or ssh-keygen on Unix-based systems. 2. Upload Private Key to NetSuite: Once you have your private key, you will need to upload it to NetSuite. You can do this by navigating to Setup > Company > Documents > Files > New File. Then, select the private key file and upload it. 3. Create a Password Guid: After uploading the private key, you will need to create a password guid. This can be done by navigating to Setup > Company > Documents > Files, then click on the private key file you uploaded, and copy the Guid from the file details. 4. Get the Host Key: The host key is the public key of the SFTP server. This is usually provided by the bank. If not, you will need to connect to the SFTP server once manually (using a tool like PuTTY or FileZilla) to accept and save the host key. 5. Configure the SFTP Connection: Now you can configure the SFTP connection in your SuiteScript code. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var connection = sftp.createConnection({
    username: 'username',
    passwordGuid: 'passwordGuid',
    url: '<http://sftp.server.com|sftp.server.com>',
    hostKey: 'hostKey',
    directory: 'directory'
});

In this code, replace 'username' with the username provided by the bank, 'passwordGuid' with the guid of the private key file you uploaded, 'sftp.server.com' with the URL of the SFTP server, 'hostKey' with the host key, and 'directory' with the directory where you want to upload the file. 6. Upload the File: Finally, you can upload a file to the SFTP server using the

upload

method of the

connection

object. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var myFileToUpload = file.create({
    name: 'filename.json',
    fileType: file.Type.JSON,
    contents: 'fileContents',
    description: 'description',
    encoding: file.Encoding.UTF8
});

connection.upload({
    directory: 'directory',
    filename: 'filename.json',
    file: myFileToUpload,
    replaceExisting: false
});

In this code, replace 'filename.json' with the name of the file you want to upload, 'fileContents' with the contents of the file, 'description' with a description of the file, and 'directory' with the directory where you want to upload the file. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
