[0.0.0.0]:4010 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAACAQCnH0...

Click the Add Certificate button.

  • In the Name field, enter ssh-rsa

  • In the Public key field, paste the value of the server public key


Step 5

Add a new certificate record for the client host key.

Generate a private SSH key, for example:

Panel

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "stonebranch-cert-client-01" -m PEM -f "stonebranch-client-01.crt" -N ""

Click the Add Certificate button.

  • In the Name field, enter ssh-rsa-hostbased-private

  • In the Private key field, paste the value of the private key


Step 6

Click the Configuration tab on the Partner detail panel and switch on the Host-based authentication toggle.

Step 7

  • In the Private Key Certificate field, input the name of the certificate record with the client private key: ssh-rsa-hostbased-private

  • In the Authorized Accounts field, choose the remote account from the list: stonebranch-01

For selected account(s), the connection will be attempted with the hostbased authentication method.

Step 8

Click Save and Confirm.

Step 9

Configure the rules at partner and/or account level.

For examplestonebranch-sftp-01_partner_send

Create the rule:

Please note that, because the remote partner is set to be local UDMG SFTP server, the Remote Directory is set to the virtual path of a receiving rule for the local server:

Authorize the sending rule for the partner:


Step 10

Initiate a file transfer to upload a file.

Use the Command Line Interface to register the transfer:

Panel

$ udmg-client transfer add -p stonebranch-sftp-01 -l stonebranch-01 -w send -r stonebranch-sftp-01_partner_send -f test-hb.txt


Step 11

Follow the transfer request from the Activity Transfer and History dashboards.

There are 2 records in this case, because UDMG is used both as the client and the server in the transaction:

  • Sending the file to the Partner, identified by the rule stonebranch-sftp-01_partner_send and the flag isSend

  • Receiving the file on the Server, identified by the rule stonebranch-sftp-01_receive and the flag isServer
