SFTP Overview
The secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) is a new feature in SSH2.0.
SFTP uses the SSH connection to provide secure data transfer. The device can serve as the SFTP
server, allowing a remote user to log into the SFTP server for secure file management and transfer.
The device can also server as an SFTP client, enabling a user to login from the device to a remote
device for secure file transfer.
