The SFTP Proxy can be configured in several ways. SFTP Proxy connections can be enabled by allowing SFTP connections in SSH devices to directly apply the SFTP protocol to connections to SSH target devices. A global username and password can be configured to set up SFTP Proxy connections. SFTP Proxy can also be used to establish connections to target devices if the global SSH Key is defined. SFTP Proxy sessions can be configured with the managerial approval feature to authenticate privileged users.


Connection types for SFTP Proxy will be detailed below, and the configuration settings will be described in detail.
