Should be able to import ED25519 format remote SFTP host keys

This functionality would allow B2B Integrator to manage SFTP file transfer activities with trading partners who are using ED25519 format remote host keys.

What is your industry? Healthcare
How will this idea be used?

I am implementing an SFTP file transfer with a new trading partner whose SFTP server uses an ED25519 format host key.  B2B Integrator is not able to import this trading partner's host key so an SFTP profile cannot be created for this trading partner, therefore B2B Integrator cannot perform file transfers with this trading partner.

    will ED25519 key format finally be supported in the next upcoming release : SI 6.1.2.3 ? That would be a great advantage as an increasing amount of partners are requesting the supported key format to be updated !

    This was created in 2019. Is there a timeline on this? ED25519 is more common nowadays.

    Several of our larger trading partners' SFTP servers are presenting ssh-ed25519 host keys and we are unable to connect to them now using B2Bi.

    We have a requirement to be able to accept ssh-ed25519 version as Authorized user keys for internal communications.
