 ### Regenerate SFTP RSA Keys
+<WRAP center round info 100%>
+If you are upgrading from a pre v2006 File Fabric that exposes  CloudSFTP, please read this section carefully.
+Starting with version 2006, CloudSFTP requires the type of certificates (keys) that are created when you follow the instructions in this section. The default certificate that was provided with earlier versions of the File Fabric will not work with v2006 and above. We recommend that you create the new RSA key on one of your nodes and copy/apply the same key to your secondary nodes as well.
+Depending on their SFTP client software, when you replace the key your SFTP users may see a notification that the key has changed. You should replace the key well in advance of upgrading the File Fabric to simplify issue analysis should there be a problem with the new key.
+</WRAP>
 It is recommended to generate new secure keys for the SFTP server.
