Is there a way for setup the SFTP connection to use Public / Private keys ?

The SFTP connection action allows you to specify the server’s Public Key, or it can be retrieved automatically when it first connects.

I am looking to connect via public / private key pair, No user name or password.
Getting the key or pasting the key is in like adding the server key to your known\_hosts file.
I create a key pair, send the public to the partner and then I am able to log in like [user@sftp.host.com](mailto:user@sftp.host.com) .... is this supported ?

No, the library we are using does not support this.

Is this something you want to implement in the near future ?

Yes, it’s possible. The sftp library we use has just been updated, and has some key exchange functionality. When time permits we will take a look at this. I can’t give you a time frame though.
