Managing System Files
– 75 –
Secure Shell FTP (SFTP) provides a method of transferring files between two
network devices over an SSH2-secured connection. SFTP functions similar to
Secure Copy (SCP), using SSH for user authentication and data encryption.
Although the underlying premises of SFTP are similar to SCP, it requires some
additional steps to verify the protocol versions and perform security checks.
SFTP connection setup includes verification of the DSS signature, creation of
session keys, creation of client-server and server-client ciphers, SSH key
exchange, and user authentication. An SFTP channel is then opened, the SFTP
protocol version compatibility verified, and SFTP finally initialized.
The reset command will not be accepted during copy operations to flash
memory.
