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 and the client must send an identification string. This identification string must be in the format:

SSH-protoversion-softwareversion SP comments CR LF

EFT 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)

  1. Open the SFTP Settings dialog box.

  2. In the Optionally specify area, specify the software version and comments.

  3. Click OK to close the dialog box.

  4. Click Apply to save the changes on EFT.
