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

Prerequisites

• OS requirement: The target device must support SFTP/FTP.
• Firewall requirements: Port 2222 (for SFTP) and port 2121 (for FTP) must be enabled.

Configuring HOST_B Resources

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

1. Choose Resource > Host.
2. 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.

3. Choose Policy > ACL Rules, and assign the newly created host HOST_B to admin_A.

Transferring files using SFTP/FTP clients

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

1. Choose Operation > Host Operations.
2. Click Login in the row where HOST_B locates.
3. Start the local FTP/SFTP client and enter the required login information in the displayed dialog box.
4. 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.
