and the RSA public key algorithm.

NOTE:
During SFTP server configuration, the client public key is required. Use the client software to generate RSA
key pairs on the client before configuring the SFTP server.
Configure the SFTP client.

The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048).
NOTES: If the key modulus is greater than 512,
It will take a few minutes.
