Using SFTP

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) allows you to access, transfer, and manage files securely. SFTP connects to a
host, logs in using a key, uses the cd command to change directories, and transfers the fax to the host. Once you
configure an SFTP server, you can select it as an Inbound Routing Destination.

Adding an SFTP Server

Use the SFTP page to set up an SFTP server for FaxFinder to use. To add an SFTP server:
1. Go to System Configuration > SFTP.
2. Click Add.
3. Enter the SFTP Server IP address or DNS name.
4. Enter a Username that has write access to that SFTP server. It can be a general account or one specific to
the folder to be shared.
5. Enter the SFTP server directory where the FaxFinder writes the fax.
6. Click Save to save settings or Cancel to cancel without saving.
When you save a new SFTP server, SFTP Server updated appears at the top of the screen. To route faxes to the
SFTP server, select SFTP as the Destination when configuring Inbound Routing for individual lines, recipients, or
globally.

Downloading an SFTP Key

Download the SFTP key and put it on the SFTP server. Typically, you should copy the key file to the
/home/username/.ssh directory on the server. Then cat keyfile >> authorized_keys.
To download the SFTP key from FaxFinder
1. Go to System Configuration > SFTP.
2. Click Download Key for the server needing the key.
3. Click Save to save the key file.
