Configure the Reflection for Secure IT Server to connect to a network share

1. On the Web Edition server, start the Reflection for Secure IT Server console. (Start > All Programs > Attachmate Reflection > Reflection SSH Server Configuration.)
2. From the Configuration tab, click SFTP Directories in the left panel, then click Add.
3. Enter a Virtual directory name (for example Test). This is the directory name that users will see when they run the Transfer Client.
4. For Local or UNC directory, enter a UNC path that includes a server name and share. For example:

   \\server\share\public

5. Click OK.
6. In the SFTP Directories pane:
   • Set the User login directory to the virtual directory you just created, for example /Test. You'll see a warning message about changing the user key directory. Because Web Edition users do not use public key authentication, this is not a concern and you can click Yes to proceed.
   • Disable the default Home directory by clearing the Allow checkbox.
7. Save your settings (File > Save Settings).

To configure the connection to your SFTP server

1. On the Web Edition server, start the Reflection for Secure IT Server console. (Start > All Programs > Attachmate Reflection > Reflection SSH Server Configuration.)
2. From the Configuration tab, click SFTP Directories in the left panel, then click Add.
3. Enter a Virtual directory name (for example Test). This is the directory name that users will see when they run the Transfer Client.
4. Select Remote SFTP server. This opens the Remote SFTP Server Connection dialog box.

   Note: The "Remote SFTP server" you configure here is your back end file server.

5. For Host, specify the name or IP address of the file server. The port for the connection to this server is set to 22 by default. Edit this if your Secure Shell server uses a different port.
6. Under Host key, click Retrieve. Reflection for Secure IT connects to the Secure Shell server running on the file server, retrieves the host public key and displays a confirmation box. Click OK to accept this key and then close the Get Public Key dialog box.

   This key is used to confirm the host identity in subsequent connections, ensuring that documents are transferred to the correct host.

7. Under Authentication, for Remote SFTP username and Password, enter the credentials of the user account that will provide access to the file system on the file server.
8. Under Remote base directory, click Browse. This opens a browse dialog box showing directories available on this server. (The directories available for the transfer depend on this user's privileges and on how the SFTP server is configured.) Browse to select the directory you want to make available to your Web Edition users and click OK. The directory you select is entered in the Path field.
9. Click Test Connection. You should see a message saying that the connection was successful.

   Note: The Test Connection dialog box includes a Details button. You can use the information provided to troubleshoot this connection.

10. Close the dialog boxes and return to the SFTP Directories pane.
11. In the SFTP Directories pane:
    • Set the User login directory to the virtual directory you just created, for example /Test. You'll see a warning message about changing the user key directory. Because Web Edition users do not use public key authentication, this is not a concern and you can click Yes to proceed.
    • Disable the default Home directory by clearing checkbox in the Allow column.
12. Save your settings (File > Save Settings).
