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.
With SSH connection across VPNs, you can configure the device as an SFTP client to establish
connections with SFTP servers in different MPLS VPNs. For more information about this function, see SSH
Connection Across VPNs .
