Overview
You can use this account type to connect Binary Snaps with data sources that use SSH Auth accounts.
The Binary SSH Auth account supports the following SFTP key exchange algorithms:
- diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
- diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
- diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
- diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
- ecdh-sha2-nistp256
- ecdh-sha2-nistp384
- ecdh-sha2-nistp521
SFTP server supports any of these algorithms. The JSch (SSH Java client) library and SFTP file server identifies and processes the appropriate algorithm during login.
