The secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) is a new feature in SSH 2.0.
SFTP uses the SSH connection to provide secure data transfer. The device can serve
as the SFTP server, allowing a remote user to login to 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.
You have configured the SSH server. For the detailed configuration procedure,
■
refer to "Configuring the Device as an SSH Server" on page 1110.
You have used the ssh user service-type command to set the service type of
■
SSH users to sftp or all. For configuration procedure, refer to "Configuring an
SSH User" on page 1113.
This configuration task is to enable the SFTP service so that a client can login to the
SFTP server through SFTP.

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.
