SAP Commissions on Hyperscaler - 🛠️Setup your own sFTP Key as Self Service

[yogananda]

Dear All,

As you may be aware, in the past & current today for HANA and Oracle tenants you had to raise a support ticket in order to set your FTP Public keys. However, with the new SAP Commissions Architecture on Hypersclaer, you can configure on your own without the requirement for a ticket or the sharing of your public key.

In this blog, I will explain how you can configure the key on your own with simple steps and it takes just within 2-5mins.
Let’s get started

To generate your public/private key pair for SFTP, please follow the steps below:

1. Install the PuTTY Key Generator, navigate to the PuTTYgen directory, and launch it. The default directory path is C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\puttygen.exe.Note: If you have an existing public/private key pair in PPK format
2. Create a new public/private key pair by clicking the Generate button:
3. Move your mouse over the blank area to create some randomness that can be used to generate the keys:
4. Save Public and Private key in your local folder.
5. Private Key should look like below
   -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
   [key content here]
   -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
