Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can use this command to configure the maximum number of SFTP clients that can be connected to the server at any point of time for SFTP service, and it takes effect for both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.

If the configured max-sessions value is less than the number of current connections, then the current connection is not disconnected and the server does not accept any new connection.
