H3C S7500E Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 SFTP Service
2-2
 Note:
When the device functions as the SFTP server, only one client can access the SFTP
server at a time. If the SFTP client uses WinSCP, a file on the server cannot be
modified directly; it can only be downloaded to a local place, modified, and then
uploaded to the server.
2.2.3 Configuring the SFTP Connection Idle Timeout Period
Once the idle period of an SFTP connection exceeds the specified threshold, the
system automatically tears the connection down, so that a user cannot occupy a
connection for nothing.
Follow these steps to configure the SFTP connection idle timeout period:
