Yes, but it is a bit of an experimental feature, please see http://www.watchftp.com/sftpcert.html and ignore the mentions about the "beta version" as it is also in the current released version.

Hi Gert, I wondered if this had been rolled out in versions post the Beta v3.5. I have WatchFTP Version 3.7.4.5 64 Bit. I can see the SFTP option and followed the information in your link without success.
Although there may be other reasons why my connection is not successful, I wanted to check with you on this first.
kind regards

Yes, this should work fine in the current release.

When you press the button "browse / test connection" it should popup several messages while connecting. Do you see errors and if so, please post the text of the error here.

Code:
	Sent public-key request with signature.
	genRead_9(62ms):
	  packetLen: 92
	  mType: USERAUTH_FAILURE
	--genRead_9
	Authentication failed or partial success. (4)
	PartialSuccess4: 1
	AuthList: gssapi-with-mic,password
	Publickey authentication failed..
    --sshAuthenticatePk
    Failed.
  --AuthenticatePk
 



Have you made sure the username is 100% correct (also for CaSe).... Are you using the correct certificate? Do you perhaps also need to set a password during login....
You should ask the admin of the SFTP server to be sure.
