Permissions Manager Items for Security SSH SFTP
The Secure Shell section of the Security Properties dialog box is visible only if you are running the FTP Client. To get to these settings, open an FTP client settings file and click Security or create a new settings file and on the Login Information panel, click Security. Then in the Security Properties window side menu, select Secure Shell in the side menu and select Use Reflection Secure Shell.
| Configure button | Opens the Secure Shell Settings dialog box, from which you can configure additional Secure Shell settings. | |
| FTP host is different than Secure Shell host (Tunnel) | Specifies to forward all FTP communications securely through the Secure Shell tunnel to the specified Secure Shell server, then in the clear from the Secure Shell server to the FTP server. | |
| Local port (Tunnel) | Deletes the selected server. | |
| Preserve timestamps and file attributes (SFTP) | Specifies that files transferred to and from the server retain their date, time, and file attributes. This setting affects SFTP connections. | |
| Send Window Size Buffer size (SFTP) | Allows you to set buffer size to improve transfer speed. The optimum values depend on your network and server setup. Changing these values may also affect how quickly you can cancel a transfer. | |
| Send Window Size Number of buffers (SFTP) | Allows you to set the number of buffers to improve transfer speed. The optimum values depend on your network and server setup. Changing these values may also affect how quickly you can cancel a transfer. | |
| SFTP button | Specifies for the FTP Client to connect using SFTP (Secure FTP) protocol. SFTP supports fewer commands than the full FTP protocol. | |
| SSH Config Scheme | Specifies to save Secure Shell settings to the specified SSH configuration scheme and use these settings whenever you specify this SSH configuration scheme name. If you leave this blank, the current host name is used for the SSH configuration scheme name. | |
| SSH Server address (Tunnel) | Specifies the host running your Secure Shell server. This setting is available when FTP host is different than the Secure Shell host is enabled. | |
| SSH User name (Tunnel) | Specifies the user name on the Secure Shell server when the user login name is different on the Secure Shell and FTP servers. This setting is available when FTP host is different than the Secure Shell host is enabled. | |
| Tunnel FTP using port forwarding | Specifies to forward data from the port you specify for Local port through the SSH tunnel. With this configuration you have access to the full range of FTP commands. All communications are sent through the SSH tunnel. | |
| Use Reflection Secure Shell | Specifies to make the connection using the Secure Shell protocol. You must select this setting before you can set other items. | |
| Use structured listing data (SFTP) | Use this setting as a troubleshooting tool if information from your Secure Shell server is missing or is not correctly displayed in the FTP Client's server pane. When this setting is not selected (the default), the FTP Client uses the standard UNIX-style data list. When it is selected, the FTP Client uses the structured data list. |
