Is it possible to implement one-time-password (OTP) with SFTP file server?

Question

Hi, I am trying to implement an SFTP server and would like to add OTP MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) support to the server. Is this possible? If so, could you share example code for implementing this feature?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi, our SFTP server library does not currently offer a public API for this. We will most likely add this in a future release, but that will take a year or two because we are currently busy with other improvements.

If you need this earlier, it would involve some custom development to expose and maintain a private API suitable for your scenario. If interested, please contact us at support@rebex.net.

This would be awesome! Do you have new time lines on this feature? Will it also include OTP support for SSH connections? Best, Thomas

We will contact you with a custom development offer on this. A public API won't be available for general use in the near-term, as we are currently busy with other features.

Thanks, Lukas! We can wait for the public API. I just wanted to know whether there is a new time-line. It's not that urgent on our side. Best, Thomas
