Syntax:

SETKEYFILE(key_file)

• key_file: The file path of the .ppk or .pem file containing the key

Remarks:

• SFTP provides additional authentication mechanisms such as the private key authentication. This way the user can use a certificate stored in a .ppk or .pem file to authenticate.
• This command must be used before OPENHOST
• User and or Password are optional in OPENHOST if SETKEYFILE is used.
