Connect To SFTP using SSH Key File

Is it possible/ in the release plan to be able to connect to SFTP servers using a SSH Key file in Fabric? 

 

I can temporarily connect using a username/password but the credentials expire so a key file in Key Vault is a better long-term strategy.

 

Thanks

Hi @BW_RFA 

 

Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Currently, the SFTP connector in Microsoft Fabric does not support SSH public key authentication. Only Basic authentication is supported for SFTP connector in Fabric.
