SFTP use Cert's Private Key from PFX (.pfx/.p12)

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to use the private key associated with a certificate from a .pfx/.p12 file. Dart

  // A PFX typically contains certificates in the chain of authentication.
  // The Chilkat cert object will choose the certificate w/
  // private key farthest from the root authority cert.
  // To access all the certificates in a PFX, use the 
  // Chilkat certificate store object instead.
