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 EFT Server and the 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 string; you provide only the software version and, optionally, comments. The software version 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 administration interface, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab. (SFTP should be enabled.)
In the left pane, click the Site you want to configure.
In the right pane, select the Connections tab.
Select the SFTP (SSH2) check box, then specify the port, if different from the default shown.
Click SFTP Config. The SFTP Settings dialog box appears.
In the Optionally specify area, specify the software version and comments.
Click OK to close the dialog box.
Click Apply to save the changes on EFT Server.
