Hi,

Thanks in advance.

SSH keys (whether the server's private key for negotiating with clients or the user's public keys used during authentication) are not stored directly inside of Serv-U. Instead, it stores the path to where the key is located on disk. So there's not really anything to export. Keys created by Serv-U use OpenSSL's default file format which is called PEM. OpenSSL command-line tools (and many other 3rd party cryptography libraries) are capable of converting this format to something else if you require it.
Actually my client wants to setup secure communication with one of the Bank. the Bank personal have requested SSH public Key from Serv-U SFTP server and I dont have steps with me as how to export the Key.
can you please guide me as how I can export it using Openssl commands...
If you're on Linux, then you probably have the OpenSSL command-line tools already available to you. Otherwise, you'll need to install a Windows package: http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html
Once that's done, this page explains how you can extract the public key: openSSL: how to extract public key? - Stack Overflow
