SFTP overview
The secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) is a new feature in SSH2.0.
SFTP uses the SSH connection to provide secure data transfer. The device can serve as the SFTP server,
allowing a remote user to log in to the SFTP server for secure file management and transfer. The device
can also serve as an SFTP client, enabling a user to login from the device to a remote device for secure
file transfer.
