Modifying the SFTP Identification String

Modifying the SFTP Identification String (Optional)

This procedure is for advanced users; in most cases, you will not need to use this procedure.

When an SFTP (SSH) connection has been established, both the server and client must send an identification string. This identification string must be in the format:

SSH-protoversion-softwareversion SP comments CR LF

EFT Server hard codes SSH-2.0 into the format; you provide only the software version and, optionally, comments. The software box must consist of printable US-ASCII characters, with the exception of whitespace characters and the minus sign (-).

To modify the SFTP identification string (optional)

In the right pane, select the SFTP Settings tab.
In the Advanced area, specify the software and optional comments.
