Description

In the SFTP options, there is a field labeled “Public/Private Key File” (Labeled “B” in the diagram).

The tooltip and user guide documentation say this field should be filled with the absolute path of a public/private keypair.

To me, this implies a single file that contains both public and private keys. There is no mention of format, file extension, anything like that. Looking through the source, the value you should put there is the absolute path of the private key, and the location of the public key is assumed based on the private key path.

Here is the JSch documentation of the method mirth is calling which calls out the assumption being made.

I'd like to suggest that the documentation and tooltip be changed to only reference the private key rather than a public/private keypair, and maybe even state that the public key location is inferred by the private key's location.
