Tip

This file recovery method requires the generation of SSH and PGP key pairs that will be used to:

  • The establishment of a secure connection between the merchant's information system and the Axepta sFTP server
  • The decryption of the reconciliation file generated by Axepta


Implementation steps


  1. The Merchant contacts Axepta Support to request the availability of the reconciliation file via sFTP
  2. Axepta Support contacts the Merchant and asks him to send his SSH and PGP public keys
  3. The Merchant creates his SSH and PGP key pairs. He only submits his public keys to Axepta Support
  4. Axepta Support performs the appropriate configuration
  5. Axepta Support sends Merchant Axepta sFTP connection data
  6. The Merchant establishes the connection between his information system and the Axepta sFTP, recovers the encrypted file and decrypts it

Please note the following information in order to set up the provision of reconciliation files via sFTP:


  1. Please find our public key attached.
  2. Please provide us with your PGP public key in .asc format (with an RSA length of at least 4096 Bit).
  3. Please send us a public SSH key in .ssh format (the command for creating an SSH key is as follows: ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa).


It is necessary to assign an email address to your public PGP key as it will act as an identifier.


We recommend that you do not use a private email address but an email address from the company's domain.


We will complete the configuration of your account and send you your access data by e-mail after receiving your data.
