Authentication Using SSH Keys

If you access your FTP Storage using SFTP/SCP, you can also authenticate yourself with a public key. This provides an additional layer of security for your connections.

If you receive an “11: Application Error” while connecting via SFTP or SCP, this may be the result of SSH key forwarding. Please deactivate the forwarding and try again.
