A couple of months ago I set up sFTP so I could send some extracted data from our ERP system to a vendor.
I set up userid USER1 and made the home directory: /home/USER1.
I created my ssh private and public keys and put them in /home/USER1 in a hidden directory called .ssh.
I exchanged public keys with the vendor and put his public key in /home/USER1/.ssh.
I got it to work and we send them data every night using sFTP.
Now I want to set up sFTP for another vendor.
I set up userid USER2 and made its home directory /home/USER2.
I assume I can use the same ssh private and public keys for this vendor. (Maybe this is a bad assumption and I need to generate another set of keys?)
So I copied the .ssh directory from /home/USER1 to /home/USER2 and deleted USER1's public key.
The .ssh directory for USER2 has in it: id_rsa, id_rsa.pub, and known_hosts.
So now I am trying to connect to the vendor's FTP server for the first time.
On my IBMi I logged in under USER2.
I called QP2TERM and executed command: sftp User2FTPServer.com.
I am getting the following error: Host key verification failed. Connection closed
What I am doing wrong?
Your help is appreciated,
Jay
