Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To connect the client to the SSH server to transfer files in SFTP mode, you must first enable the SFTP server on the SSH server.

Precautions

After the sftp server enable command is run, the device receives login connection requests from all interfaces by default. Therefore, there are security risks. You are advised to run the ssh server-source command to specify the source interface of the SFTP server.

After the sftp server enable command is run, the numbers of IPv4 port and IPv6 port are both changed. To change the number of IPv4 port or IPv6 port separately, run the sftp [ ipv4 | ipv6 ] server enable command.
