Connected to 0.0.0.0.
sftp> ls
sftp-01-in

Create a Shared Account with SSH Key Authentication

Step 1

Follow the above steps again to create another shared account stonebranch-02.

Step 2

If you don't already have a public key, generate a new SSH key for this account, for example:

$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "stonebranch-02" -N "" -f stonebranch-02
Generating public/private ed25519 key pair.
Your identification has been saved in stonebranch-02.
Your public key has been saved in stonebranch-02.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:gNvc9Km/Zoe6b/UEtfD0mIjjhiRO/eYujv/SU4+d8sk stonebranch-02
The key's randomart image is:
+--[ED25519 256]--+
|                 |
|     .      . o  |
|    . ...  . * = |
|     +o+o.o.o = .|
|    .oooS+o. .   |
|      . ..= o .  |
|        .= + * . |
|       .o.O +.=. |
|      .o=%*+ oE  |
+----[SHA256]-----+

Note

The public key must be in OpenSSH format.
The following key types are supported: ed25519, ecdsa, rsa, dss. RSA and DSS are obsolete and not supported by all SFTP software servers and clients.
