Problem: I’m trying to create a SFTP connection in Control hub but when I select “Private Key” as my authentication method I don’t see the field where I can provide it. 

This is what you see, there is no private key fields to fill
 

Solution: The functionality to add a private key to a SFTP connection was added with SDC version 5.1. Because the connection set up relies on the engine to get all its information if you use a SDC with a version lower than 5.1 as the Authoring Data Collector for the connection you won’t be able to use this functionality. 

If that is your case you have two options:

  1. Not use Connection for SFTP, and edit logon details directly in an SFTP stage in the pipeline, where you can provide the private key information.
     
  2. Upgrade your SDCs to 5.1 version or superior to be able to use this feature.
This is what you will see with a SDC +5.1 version as the authoring data collector
