# Renewal of the SFTP Client Key \(on Tenant\)
In this use case, an SSH key pair is renewed on the SFTP client \(tenant\).
Security artifact renewal has to be performed in the following sequence:
1. Tenant administrator: Generates new key pair for the SFTP client.
2. Tenant administrator: Exports the public key from the keystore and provides the SFTP server administrator with the public key.
3. SFTP server administrator: Imports the public key \(provided by the tenant administrator\) into the SFTP server truststore.
4. SFTP server administrator: Informs tenant administrator that public key has been imported into the truststore of the SFTP server.
5. Tenant administrator: Exchanges in the keystore the old key pair with the new one.
