• Secure Shell FTP (SFTP) provides a method of transferring files between two network devices
over an SSH2-secured connection. SFTP functions similar to Secure Copy (SCP), using SSH for
user authentication and data encryption.
Although the underlying premises of SFTP are similar to SCP, it requires some additional steps
to verify the protocol versions and perform security checks. SFTP connection setup includes
verification of the DSS signature, creation of session keys, creation of client-server and
server-client ciphers, SSH key exchange, and user authentication. An SFTP channel is then
opened, the SFTP protocol version compatibility verified, and SFTP finally initialized.
Example
The following example shows how to download new firmware from a TFTP server:
