SCP / SSH ​

To create a SCP (over SSH) connection, first enter the preferences. Switch to the Connections tab and click Add Connection.

Select the SCP over SSH button for your connection, and enter all required information:

  • Enter the FQDN / IP address of the server
  • Enter the SSH user account name
  • If you wish to use password / keyboard-interactive authentication, enter the SSH user password. In case you want to use public key authentication, enter the passphrase for your private key (if a passphrase is required)
  • Optional: If you want to use public key authentication, select the private key for the given SSH account.
  • Enter the absolute path on the server where Dropshare should save your uploads at
  • Enter the URL for the path given above

Press test connection to make sure Dropshare is able to connect to your server and successfully upload files.

INFO

Dropshare does only support SSH keys in the PEM format. When generating SSH keys, do not use the -o parameter.
