vpn-instance-name ] [ identity-key { dsa | rsa } |
prefer-compress { zlib | zlib-openssh } |prefer-ctos-cipher
{ 3des | aes128 | des } | prefer-ctos-hmac { md5 | md5-96
| sha1 | sha1-96 } | prefer-kex { dh-group-exchange |
dh-group1 | dh-group14 } | prefer-stoc-cipher { 3des |
aes128 | des } | prefer-stoc-hmac { md5 | md5-96 | sha1
| sha1-96 } ] *
In FIPS mode:
sftp server [ port-number ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ] [ identity-key rsa | prefer-ctos-cipher
{ aes128 | aes256 } | prefer-ctos-hmac { sha1 | sha1-96 }
| prefer-kex dh-group14 | prefer-stoc-cipher { aes128 |
aes256 } | prefer-stoc-hmac { sha1 | sha1-96 } ] *
•
Establish a connection to an IPv6 SFTP server:
In non-FIPS mode:
sftp ipv6 server [ port-number ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ] [ identity-key { dsa | rsa }|
prefer-compress { zlib | zlib-openssh } | prefer-ctos-cipher
{ 3des | aes128 | des } | prefer-ctos-hmac { md5 | md5-96
