Thread: configure SFTP using open ssh

What do you want it to do ?

By default, SFTP requests are enabled with any OpenSSH server.

ssh: ssh -l user server -p 22
sftp: sftp -oPort=22 user@server

Of course, you don’t need to specify the port if the default port is being used (or if you have set in your .ssh).

In a cpanel server, It normally uses pureftp, I want to enable SFT and stop using FTP by the users. How this can be done?

That’s usually not a possibility if the host of the CPanel does not allow SSH. If they offer SSH, just have them turn it on, and you’ll have the ability to do so.

Hi,

I have seen some of the hosting providers do so. Is there is any work around method to enable SFTP?
