I have a Windows server in AWS and I want to deploy a public key to connect sftp authentication by key file.

I use freeftpd to reach my sftp connection but the program do not support key authentication so I try to get the connection in another sftp client(Filezilla,WinSCP,etc) but when I try to connect with the key it is unable to use key file.

The public key is format like: ssh-rsa AAAABBBCCCDDD appadm@host11 How can I deploy the public key for allow only 1 User through sftp connection? Thanks

    you need an SSH server on Windows that supports authentication with ssh keys, such as Reflection SSH, OpenSSH for Windows, Cygwin, FreeSSHd etc; – olivierg Nov 19 '19 at 18:29

did you deploy a SSH server in your AWS server?

Remember, SFTP uses SSH protocol, Not FTP, which in windows doesn't come out of the box.

You can check this Link to guide you in the process of setting up a SSH server using openSSH
