File Transfer Overview

The Reflection for Secure IT server supports secure file transfer using any of the following options:

• SCP1
• SCP2
• SFTP

You can allow or deny client access to these protocols using the Permissions pane.

Note: SCP1 is the SCP protocol used by OpenSSH. This protocol does not use the SFTP subsystem; it executes an rcp command through the secure channel. SCP2 uses the SFTP protocol.

Use the SFTP Directories pane to modify file transfer directory access for users. You can:

• Specify the user login directory.

  The default login directory is the Windows user profile directory.

  The user profile folder is configurable by the Windows system administrator. The default is:

  • Windows XP, Windows Server 2003:
    \Documents and Settings\username\
  • Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008:
    \Users\username\
• Create virtual directory names.

  Use virtual directories to customize the directory names visible to users.

• Configure which directories are accessible to users.

  By default users have access to files in their Windows profile directory. You can change this default and/or add access to additional directories.
