34 34  As the private key is yours, you can ask a trusted party to generate the key, or you could create it yourself. The latter part happens a lot when connecting to an SFTP. You could use a tool like PuttyGen to achieve this. As a result, you will have a keypair. The private key should be kept safely with you in eMagiz, and you need to share the public key with the SFTP server party. In this microlearning, I will not explain how PuttyGen works in detail. Instead, we will focus on the part in eMagiz. In eMagiz, we need to refer to the key file (linked under Resources), and we need to refer to the password we use to save our key file securely.
