SFTP

SFTP is popular for business to business integration, and we are proud to support it.

Connection Settings

Hostname

Connect with SFTP to the fully qualified domain name of your appliance. If your client requires an IP address for the connection, connect using the external IP address configured in the appliance manager.

Port

For SFTP connections, use port 22.

SCP (Secure Copy) Protocol

ExaVault's SFTP server also supports the SCP protocol, another file transfer protocol that is built on top of SSH. For purposes of most interactions with ExaVault, SCP will work exactly the same as SFTP.

SSH Restrictions

Functionality is restricted to only SFTP and SCP capabilities. This means that only the file transfer related capabilities of SSH are allowed, such as using SFTP or SCP to transfer files, and SSH Keys for authentication.

There are no other SSH services provided. SSH capabilities such as shell access or SSH tunneling are unavailable, preventing their use in any way.

Security scans will detect SSH availability as a "false positive" result. This is because SFTP and SCP are subsets of SSH functionality. No SSH capabilities, other than those required by SFTP and SCP, are available on the ExaVault platform.
