SFTP Authenticate with Password and Private Key

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat SFtp.AuthenticatePwPk method, which authenticates with a server that requires both a password and a private key. The arguments are the username, the password, and an SshKey private key.

Note: The private-key path is relative to the application's current working directory. Supply the path to your own key file.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
