Title: Secure FTP
Post by: Liam on January 15, 2003, 11:09:31 AM

hi,
Im running SME 5.5. I would like to setup secure FTP on my server and gateway. What must I do? What is the default port for SFTP? Is it the same as normal ftp?
Thanks.

SecureFTP should already be setup since it was implemented in SSH protocol 2.  It shouldn't require any additional configuration.  The user account that you are connecting as much have access to execute sftp-server, if the account's default shell doesn't provide console access (ie: /sbin/sshell) then you will be unable to use that account to sftp.

Hope this helped,
Nathan
