Introduction to SFTP

Secure FTP (SFTP) is established based on an SSH2 connection. It allows a remote user to log in to the switching engine to manage and transmit files, providing a securer guarantee for data transmission. In addition, since the device can be used as a client, you can log in to remote devices to transfer files securely.
