430 CHAPTER 38: FTP AND SFTP CONFIGURATION
Introduction to SFTP Secure FTP (SFTP) is established based on an SSH2 connection. It allows a remote
user to log in to a switch to manage and transmit files, providing a securer
guarantee for data transmission. In addition, since the switch can be used as a
client, you can log in to remote devices to transfer files securely.
