What cipher should we use for SFTP data exchange?

If you plan to exchange data with Yokoy using an SFTP server, then SSH key authentication should use one of these ciphers.

You can automatically import and export data from Yokoy via an SFTP server. To authenticate with Yokoy‘s SFTP server, you need to generate a SSH public key. The public key should use a modern, secure encryption algorithm (i.e. not SHA-1 or MD5).

Yokoy supports these ciphers for data exchange via SFTP:

Cipher

Host key algorithms

  • ssh-dss

  • ssh-rsa

  • ecdsa-sha2-nistp256

  • ecdsa-sha2-nistp384

  • ecdsa-sha2-nistp521

  • ssh-ed25519
