NonStop SSH SFTP API Reference Manual

Installation
System requirements
To use the SFTP API, the following software must be installed on the NonStop server:
• HP NonStop SSH, comForte SecurFTP/SSH, or comForte SecurSH.
The SFTP client included with one of the packages above must have the following minimal version:
• T9999H06_17Dec2009_comForte_SFTP_0088
• For NonStop SSH on J Series and H Series, SPRs T0801AAQ or later must be installed.
• For NonStop SSH on G Series, SPRs T0801AAT or later must be installed.
Please contact Support for instructions if your current SSH installation does not include an appropriate version of SFTP.
How is SFTP API delivered?
SFTP API is not delivered as a separate package. It is rather incorporated into the SFTP program included with HP
NonStop SSH, comForte SecurFTP/SSH, or comForte SecurSH. However, an appropriate license file is required to
unlock the SFTP API functionality.
License Installation
To unlock the SFTP API, you will receive an SFTP API license file.
This license file contains a list of all systems that a customer wishes to license for SFTP API. It must be located within
the same subvolume where the SFTP program file resides, and must be named "LICENSE". SFTP is distributed in
$SYSTEM.SYSnn, but it is not recommended to place license files in $SYSTEM.SYSnn. If SFTP is copied into
$SYSTEM.ZSSH, there will be a conflict if an SSH or SFTP license file named "LICENSE" already exists, unless this
license file is renamed and a LICENSE parameter placed in the SSH configuration file.
Note: Even if there is no file named LICENSE on $SYSTEM.ZSSH, the SFTP API license file must not be copied to
this subvolume! This can cause that the SSH2 process may not access (decrypt) the ssh database as long as the SFTP API
license resides on $SYSTEM.ZSSH.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended to copy the SFTP program file into a dedicated subvolume where the license must
also be placed. The application using the SFTP API should be changed to reference the SFTP object in the dedicated
subvolume. Newer NonStop SSH releases copy the SFTP object to subvolume $SYSTEM.ZSFTPAPI during
installation.
Note: Do not overwrite any license file in $SYSTEM.ZSSH.
