What is SFTP?
Cerberus FTP Server 4.0 and higher supports the SSH2 File Transfer Protocol, also known as SFTP. SFTP is a network protocol that provides secure and reliable file access, file transfer, and file management functionality. Features of the protocol include resuming interrupted file transfers, directory listings, getting and setting file attributes, and remote file removal.
There are currently 6 different versions of the SFTP protocol, with versions 3 - 6 being in common use by modern SFTP clients. Cerberus supports SFTP version 3,4,5 and 6 clients.
Cerberus also supports SSH public key authentication.
