Hi,

were you able to solve it?

I'm getting the same error and I've been told the PK algorithm (ssh-rsa) is not supported by azure storage sftp.

It seems azure sftp supports ssh-rsa for public key but not for the host key (which is I guess what is required).

I am also getting the same error

what is the solution for this ?

I am also facing the same issue, I can not connect to an Azure SFTP server. I will have to use an external FTP transfer tool instead because of this limitation.

Please help us on having Azure SFTP servers supported from BI, as the lack of this functionality is causing some issues when building integrations for vendors using it.
