| Oct 23, 2020 at 9:47 | comment | added | Tom | It's not my server. I work for the company but do not have access. Consider me another party. I think I've pieced it together based on the above anyway but thanks for your help | |
| Oct 23, 2020 at 8:48 | comment | added | Martin Prikryl | Then I do not understand the question. It's your server, so why are you trying to authenticate with thirdparty key? Set up you own authentication. + Your question still says "My company has ... uploaded files" – what seems to be incorrect based on your comments above. | |
| Oct 22, 2020 at 17:56 | comment | added | Tom | Apologies, that's part of what I'm unclear about. I'm assuming in this case that my company owns the SFTP server to which the files are uploaded. My company has added the public key of the third party to this server so that the third party can connect using their private key. | |
| Oct 22, 2020 at 7:28 | comment | added | Martin Prikryl | If you are uploading files and you are using WinSCP, you are the client and you are connecting to thirdparty server. Your use of "provided" in the question is imo ambiguous. Please elaborate on the "My company has provided". How/to whom did you "provide" it? | |
| Oct 21, 2020 at 20:46 | comment | added | Tom | so stupid question, assuming the third party has the private key, and my company does not - how did my company access the SFTP to upload files? Is it that my company owns the server, and therefore uploads files, and gives access to the third party by registering its public key? is that how it works? So the third party is able to connect by adding their private key to WinSCP (or something similar) and is authenticated by the public key on my company's server? Again, apologies if this is super basic but I'm trying to learn! :) | |

| Oct 21, 2020 at 18:30 | comment | added | LPChip | SFTP needs a certificate, private key or username/password combination | |
