Kafka SFTP connector

Hi all,

I am using SFTP connector which that SFTP connection can be accessed by
using public key file.

How can I give this configuration in postman to start sftp connector?

Anyone have any suggestions?

The `tls.private.key` type is indeed modeled as a password but for the 
sake of how to assign values; it is just a string. Therefore, you can 
provide any valid string to it regardless if it is long or not.

Regarding escaping, I understand how this can be a PITA. I would 
recommend either:

1. *Using Postman variables*: define a variable with the public key and 
then reference in the payload using the `{{$var.name}}` notation.

2. *Use a Bastion Server and cURL*: you can use a bastion server to SSH 
from your machine and then have access to the machine that hosts your 
Kafka Connect server. While in there; you can use cURL to execute the 
POST command along with the `--data-urlencode` parameter.

Thanks,

-- Ricardo

Hi Ricardo

Thanks for the response

But the tls.private.key type was a password and I am giving request through
postman

In this place how can we give that public key value in postman as a string

That public key having so many characters which not included within that
string double quotes..

More escape sequence will be there in the public key

In this situation do u know how can we use this??

Vishnu,

A public key file can be specified via the property `tls.public.key`.

Thanks,
