Secure FTP over SSH

Secure FTP over SSH is based on the Secure Shell protocol. In contrast to standard FTP, only one port is used for session handling and data transfer. Therefore, the implementation is firewall friendly. The ECuRep SFTP server can be reached at sftp.ecurep.ibm.com on the default port 22. Only SFTP based on SSH version 2 protocol is supported; Secure Copy (SCP) requests are denied.

In general, the directory structure of the SFTP server is the same as on the standard FTP server except that only the toibm directory is available. Because SFTP Windows GUI clients require directory listing, files can be listed in upload directories. Downloads of such files is administratively prohibited. They are also moved to another directory a few seconds after the upload is started, and therefore vanish from the directory listing after a short period.

To allow automated backend processing, a file naming convention needs to be met:

xxxxx.bbb.ccc.yyy.yyy --->

Example
34143.055.724.zip
(pmr_#.branch_office_#.country_code.zip)

The following ciphers are supported:
• aes128-cbc
• aes192-cbc
• aes256-cbc
• 3des-cbc

The following hashing algorithms are supported:
• sha1
