how to setup sftp

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set up SFTP in NetSuite, you can use the SFTP module with private keys. Here are the steps: 1. Upload your private key to NetSuite by going to Setup > Company > Keys. 2. Use the

sftp.createConnection()

function to create a connection. Set the

keyid

field to the internal id of your previously uploaded key. Here's a sample code snippet:

javascript
var sftp = require('N/sftp');
var connection = sftp.createConnection({
    username: 'myUsername',
    passwordGuid: 'myPasswordGuid',
    url: 'myUrl',
    hostKey: 'myHostKey',
    directory: 'myDirectory',
    keyId: 'myKeyId' // the internal id of your previously uploaded key
});

For testing your SFTP script, you can use cloud-based servers like Files.com or Rebex. If you're comfortable with Linux, you can also create your own SFTP server. If you're on Windows, Solarwinds has a Windows-based server that's easy to set up. If you're getting the

FTP_INCORRECT_HOST_KEY

error, you can use the

ssh-keyscan

command to get the correct host key. Here's how: 1. Run

ssh-keyscan <http://website.com|website.com>

in your command prompt or terminal. 2. Copy everything except

ssh-rsa

. Here's a sample command:

bash
ssh-keyscan -p [portnumber] <http://website.com|website.com>

Replace

[portnumber]

with the port number provided by your SFTP server. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
