Configuring SFTP
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 access controller can serve as the SFTP
server, allowing a remote user to log in to the SFTP server for secure file management and transfer. The
access controller can also serve as an SFTP client, enabling a user to log in from the access controller to
a remote access controller for secure file transfer.
Configuring the access controller as an SFTP server
Before you configure this task, complete the following tasks:
• Configure the SSH server.
• Use the ssh user service-type command to set the service type of SSH users to sftp or all.
For more information about the configuration procedures, see "Configuring SSH2.0."
Enabling the SFTP server
This configuration task will enable the SFTP service so that a client can log in to the SFTP server through
SFTP.
To enable the SFTP server:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enable the SFTP server. sftp server enable Disabled by default.
NOTE:
When the access controller functions as the SFTP server, only one client can access the SFTP server at a
time. If the SFTP client uses WinSCP, a file on the server cannot be modified directly; it can only be
downloaded to a local place, modified, and then uploaded to the server.
Configuring the SFTP connection idle timeout period
Once the idle period of an SFTP connection exceeds the specified threshold, the system automatically
tears the connection down.
To configure the SFTP connection idle timeout period:
