I have created a new SSH key and trying to add it to the server. I have placed the file under d:\Program files (x86)\wing ftp server

When i browse out to that directory and select the file it comes back and says "Invalid file path!"

I have also placed the new ssh key in a directory on the d:\ssh key and when i browse to that directory i also get the message that says "Invalid file path!"

I am doing something wrong.

Do you mean the SSH host key? You just need to create the host key under "Domain > Settings > General Settings > Miscellaneous > Add SSH Key > Create Host Key File".

So I asked whether you use it for SSH host key or SSH public key authentication, if it is for SSH host key, just create it under "Domain > Settings > General Settings > Miscellaneous > Add SSH Key > Create Host Key File".

Sorry, did not understand question. We will be using it for both ways.

They are totally different, if you mean the ssh public key authentication, then just have a look on this KB article: http://www.wftpserver.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=502" rel="nofollow
