Logging In to File Transfer Resources Using an FTP or SFTP Client

CBH allows you to use file transfer clients to transfer files between authorized managed hosts using the file transfer protocol. This means you can transfer files the way you are used to. All operations performed on a host resource are recorded by CBH for audit.

This topic describes how to obtain client login information and log in to resources that use a file transfer protocol.

Constraints

Only hosts with Protocol set to FTP, SFTP, or SCP can be logged in to using a web browser. Client tools must meet the requirements in the following table.

Host Protocol

Xftp 6 or later, WinSCP 5.14.4 or later, and FlashFXP 5.4 or later

FTP Protocol
