How Do I Use FTP/SFTP to Transfer Files to or From an SSH Host?

The O&M engineer admin_A needs to use the FTP/SFTP client to transfer files to the SSH host HOST_A managed by a CBH instance.

The CBH administrator assigns the O&M permissions of HOST_B to the O&M engineer admin_A.

Choose Resource > Host.
Click New to create FTP/SFTP host HOST_B.
- Select FTP or SFTP for Protocol. For security purposes, you are advised to select SFTP.
- Set Host Address to the IP address of HOST_A.
- Set other parameters according to the configuration of HOST_A. HOST_A and HOST_B point to the same host, but the protocol type is different.
Choose Policy > ACL Rules, and assign the newly created host HOST_B to admin_A.

The following describes how the O&M engineer admin_A logs in to the CBH instance and transfers files using HOST_B.

Choose Operation > Host Operation.
Click Login in the row where HOST_B locates.
Start the local FTP/SFTP client and enter the required login information in the displayed dialog box.
After engineer admin_A logs in to HOST_B, files can be transferred.
- The FTP/SFTP client login password is the password used by admin_A to log in to the CBH system.
- For details about the login precautions, see Using the FTP/SFTP/SCP Client for Logging In.
