Configuring An Sftp Client; Configuring The Sftp Connection Idle Timeout Period; Specifying A Source Ip Address Or Interface For The Sftp Client; Establishing A Connection To The Sftp Server - 3Com S7906E Configuration Manual

When the device 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, so that a user cannot occupy a connection for nothing.
Follow these steps to configure the SFTP connection idle timeout period:
