SFTP client configuration example

Network requirements
As shown in
SFTP client, logs in to Switch B for file management and file transfer. An SSH user uses publickey
authentication with the public key algorithm being RSA.

Configuration procedure
NOTE:
During SFTP server configuration, the client public key is required. Use the client software to generate
RSA key pairs on the client before configuring the SFTP server.
Configure the SFTP client

# Create VLAN-interface 1 and assign an IP address to it.
<SwitchA> system-view
[SwitchA] interface vlan-interface 1
[SwitchA-Vlan-interface1] ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
[SwitchA-Vlan-interface1] quit
# Generate the RSA key pairs.
[SwitchA] public-key local create rsa
The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048).
NOTES: If the key modulus is greater than 512,
It will take a few minutes.
Press CTRL+C to abort.
Input the bits of the modulus[default = 1024]:
