2.1 SFTP Service
2.1.1 Introduction to SFTP
Secure FTP (SFTP) is a new feature introduced in SSH2.0.
Since SFTP is based on SSH, it can provides security for remote users to log into the
switch and perform file management and transfer operations (such as system update),
thus providing more security for data transfer. Through the SFTP client function, you
can securely log into a remote device and perform file transfer operations securely.
2.1.2 SFTP Server Configuration
The following sections describe SFTP Server configuration tasks:
