Note:
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.

2.2.3 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:
Enter system view
Configure the SFTP
connection idle timeout
period

2.3 Configuring an SFTP Client

2.3.1 Specifying a Source IP Address or Interface for the SFTP Client

You can configure a client to use only a specified source IP address or interface to
access the SFTP server, thus enhancing the service manageability.
Follow these steps to specify a source IP address or interface for the SFTP client:
Enter system view
