Setting up SSH for CLI copy using SFTP

Question & Answer


Question

You would like to use the WebSphere® DataPower® CLI copy command to copy a file from a DataPower directory, such as export:, to an SFTP (Secured File Transfer Protocol) URL. For example: xi50(config)# copy export:///somefile.zip sftp://someuser@somehost/something You have this working using password authentication when connecting to "somehost", but the documentation indicates that you can set up key-based authentication so that you don't need to use a password: parameter. How is this done?
