I am trying to setup sftp with third party ftp server, I have provided them my public key and they have registered on their server and I have written their public key in my knowhost file. Now I am trying to connect to ftp server through code :
_ftpConnection.ServerAddress = ServerAddress;
_ftpConnection.UserName = UserName;
_ftpConnection.Password = Password; //Passwordis blank as I am using Authentication type publickey
_ftpConnection.Protocol = FTPProtocol.SFTP;
_ftpConnection.AuthenticationMethod = AuthenticationType.PublicKey;
_ftpConnection.ClientPrivateKeyFile = pathToKey; //Path to my private key
_ftpConnection.ClientPrivateKeyPassphrase = passphrase; // pass phrase used to generate my private key
_ftpConnection.UseSFTPServerValidation = true;
_ftpConnection.KnownHosts.KnownHostFile = knownHostFilePath;
_ftpConnection.Connect();
It fails when it tries to connect and throw exception "AuthentiationFailed". Here's the attached trace below:
