New/Edit SFTP Server

Added SFTP servers can be used for both Transfer Sites and Jobs.

Server

The name or IP address of an SFTP-enabled SSH server.

The Reflection for Secure IT Gateway installer includes the Reflection for Secure IT Server for Windows. Each Reflection Gateway license entitles you to install this SFTP-enabled server on one system. Contact Micro Focus for information about purchasing additional Reflection for Secure IT Servers for Windows or UNIX.

Port

The port used for SFTP and SSH connections on the server. Port 22 is the standard.

Host key fingerprint

Connections to the SFTP server require host authentication using a public key. Once you have specified a server and port, you can click Retrieve to import this key. The host key fingerprint displays the SHA1 hash of the retrieved key.

UserID

Specify a valid user account on the SFTP server. Reflection Gateway uses the credentials of this account to access the file system on this server.

Password

Select this option to authenticate using a password, and enter the password for the specified user.

Public key

Select this option to authenticate using public key authentication. To use this option, public key authentication must be configured for the user on the SFTP server. Copy the user’s private key to a location available from the browser, then click Import private key. This imports (copies) the key into the Reflection Gateway database. After the import, you can delete the key from the file system to minimize security risks.

Transfer Site base directory

This setting is required only if you want to use this server as your Transfer Site file server. This base directory is not used when the server is configured for Job scanning or Job actions.

Specify the base directory under which Reflection Gateway Transfer Site directories will be created. The directory you select must be available to the specified user account. Click Browse to connect to the server and select a location. This automatically enters a path using the correct syntax. By default, the base directory is set to a subdirectory called Reflection in the directory you selected. This is not required; you can edit or delete this subdirectory name.
