sftp

Use

sftp

for a secure file transfer transaction between two servers using

ssh

. This process

is similar to

ftp

except that it is encrypted for security. Refer to the

man

pages for

sftp

for

a description and any command options.

ssh

The SCS systems use

ssh

to establish secure connections over your network. The

configuration file for the ssh server is

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

.

This controls ssh

connections to the SCS.

Use

ssh

to establish a secure connection between two hosts or to transfer files or data between

the systems. The Secure Console Server is a client device and will be connected to an ssh
elsewhere. The security keys for

ssh

may need to be generated using

ssh-keygen

, depending

on your application of

ssh

. Refer to the

man

pages for

ssh

for a description and any command

options.

ssh-keygen

Use

ssh-keygen

to create keys for users so passwords do not have to be used for

ssh

login.

You can generate the security keys for your client system (in this case, the SCS is the client) to
interact with an

ssh

host elsewhere. After the keys have been generated, the user can establish a

secure shell connection using

ssh

over a network. Refer to the

man

pages for

ssh

for a

description and any command options.

stty

Use

stty

to change the configuration for each Port. The system provides a default

configuration for the system Ports (

ttyB1

through

ttyB48

),

and for the console port

(ttyS0

).

!

Note: Port changes made using

stty

are temporary (not written to memory). In

order to keep any changes, you must edit the configuration file in

/etc/rc.d/rc.serial

and then run

save

.

The Ports are identified as

/dev/ttyB1

through

/dev/ttyB48

for ports 1 through 48,

respectively, and

/dev/ttyS0

for the console port.

!

Note: For example, to administer Port 7 you would edit the file

rc.serial

and use

stty -F /dev/ttyB7

.

Refer to the

man

pages for

stty

for a description and any command options.

versions

Use

versions

to see a listing of the release versions of the LSI files in the SCS.
