Failed to import private key - how to overcome? (wodSFTP / wodSFTP.NET / wodSFTPdll)

I am struggling to connect to an SFTP server. I have the following code:

[code]
WeOnlyDo.Security.Cryptography.KeyManager keyM = new WeOnlyDo.Security.Cryptography.KeyManager();
keyM.Load(privateKeyFile, password);

WeOnlyDo.Client.FtpDLX wodFtpDLX = new WeOnlyDo.Client.FtpDLX();
wodFtpDLX.LicenseKey = licenseKey;
wodFtpDLX.Protocol = WeOnlyDo.Client.Protocols.SFTP;
wodFtpDLX.Authentication = WeOnlyDo.Client.Authentications.PublicKey;

wodFtpDLX.Hostname = ftpAddress;
wodFtpDLX.Login = userName;

wodFtpDLX.PrivateKey = keyM.PrivateKey(WeOnlyDo.Security.Cryptography.SSHKeyTypes.RSAKey);
wodFtpDLX.Blocking = true;
wodFtpDLX.Connect();
[/code]

If the private key password is incorrect, I get the Failed to import private key error immediately so I know the key is being loaded without issue. The error is only being raised when I try to connect to the server. It is immediate so I am guessing it is when the key is trying to be loaded on to the client. Have I set any of the properties incorrectly or are there any which I have failed to set?

Much appreciated.

Hi Paul,


You need to load private key inside PirvateKey Property in XML folder. In order to do that you can try something like this:
[code]wodFtpDLX..PrivateKey = keyM.ToXmlString(WeOnlyDo.Security.Cryptography.SSHKeyTypes.RSAKey, true);[/code]
Let us know how it goes.
