SFTP AUTOMATION CONNECTION - ERROR CONNECTION

gnavarro — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 11:47:14 GMT

We are running into a specific problem and would like to know if you can help us solve it.

We have an SFTP data connection using a Host Public Key fingerprint (SHA256 base64 encoded), and it works correctly.

We realized that for Qlik Automations, it uses an automation connection, which is a different type of connection compared to a data connection.

The issue is that in this case it asks for a private key, but in the data connection we use a public key.

When running the automation to save a report on an SFTP server, we get an error saying that something went wrong while saving the file, and that it could not connect to the user or the host.

We are not sure whether an automation connection only allows authentication with a private key or if there is another reason for this issue. We would appreciate your help with this.
