Would you be able to provide log files?It may contain more details about it is not working. Tue, 15 May 2018 23:36:32 GMT debbiatsafe Comment by adubs on adubs's answer https://knowledge.safe.com/comments/70071/view.html I'm having trouble getting this working on FME server.I have a system caller that calls pageant, and loads the key.It then uses FTPCaller to connect to the sftp server and download the file.It works great in desktop, but when I put it on server.the system caller just hangs.Any advice getting sftp working on FME Server

unfortunately, it is currently not possible to use the FTPCaller with ssh key files on FME Cloud.The FME Engine service has only limited access to the filesystem of the FME Cloud instance which is not sufficient to add ssh key files that can be used in the FTPCaller.I will raise this with development and will update here once there is news on this.

A workaround for know could be to use python with the pysftp module.You will need to add the pysftp and the paramiko modules to your FME Cloud instance following these steps:

I hope this helps!

Thanks@GerhardAtSafeand@DebbiAtSafe- I will try on the cloud instance.I look forward to hearing back from you though.

Hi@clow,

Currently, there is no SFTP watcher available on FME Server:

FME Cloud is running on Linux so you would need to add your key to the FME Cloud instance.It might be possible to add the ssh key following the instructions@DebbiAtSafeshared with you using the SystemCaller transformer but I am afraid that you might need root permissions to either add the file or to change the permission on the file.I will investigate and follow up with you once I know more.

Hi@clow

My apologies for the lack of information in the documentation.You are on the right path setting SSH-Agent/Pageant as an authentication type within the FTPCaller.

If you are on the Windows platform, you would have to use a program called Pageant.This is not installed or running on Windows by default so the user would need to install it.The following link should contain more details and instructions:https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-pageant-to-streamline-ssh-key-authentication-with-putty.Basically, you would need to add your key to Pageant.

If you are on the Linux platform, you would have to use ssh-agent (https://www.ssh.com/ssh/agent) and generally, this is running by default on Linux.

There is an existing PR (PR81956) that addresses FTPCaller documentation.Once this PR has been resolved, the documentation should become clearer.

Hope this helps,

Debbi
