Use an Added SFTP Server as the Transfer Site File Server

Use the following procedure to designate an added SFTP for Transfer Site file exchange. Typically this will be a server running in your internal network. This is the recommended configuration when the Reflection for Secure IT Gateway is running in the DMZ. With this configuration, data streams continuously through the proxy, eliminating the need to save files on this server. Data passed to the SFTP server is securely encrypted.

Before you begin

  • Add the SFTP server to the list of available servers using System > File Servers. Set the base directory for this server to the directory you want to use for Transfer Site file exchange.

    NOTE:The name and location of the base directory you configure for your server is not made visible to client users. The folder name that users see when they connect is the value you specify for Transfer site name when you create a Transfer Site. The actual subdirectory on the file server is the value you specify for Directory name, which can be the same or different.

To designate an added SFTP server as the Transfer Site file server

  1. Log on to Gateway Administrator using an account in the Administrators group (or any account that has the System setup role enabled).

  2. Go to System > File Servers.

  3. Use the Transfer site file server drop-down list to select the added SFTP server.

  4. Click Save.
