Safe file transfer

SIF offers several ways for you to safely transfer files, aside from using the web-interface or WebDAVS. Here we will walk you through the possiblities available to you, if you prefer using SFPT for safe file transfer. 

Safe file transfer via SFTP ect.

Safe file transfer via SFTP in SIF

SFTP is a safe and effective protocol for file transfers somewhat like the old FTP protocol, but with built-in security. SFTP builds on the OpenSSH software security infrastructure and is supported by a long list of clients on the most popular platforms – some of them even integrates the functionality into their Files programme, so you won't have to download further apps.

Open the SFTP tab under Setup and set up how you want to identify yourself to your server. Either copy paste one or several SSH public keys or enter the password you want to use, and click Save SFTP Settings. Please note that your login-details – including your username – will be shown here too.

5 STEPS

1. SFTP er en sikker og effektiv protokol til fil-overførsler. Først skal du åbne Setup SFTP fanen under din Setup side på SIF og konfigurere hvordan du vil identificere dig for vores server.

Other clients we know work with SIF

  • FTP/SFTP client WinSCP. WinSCP is an FTP/FTPS/SFTP client for Windows. It is available in a portable version and it has a semi-automatic sync-function, which makes it easier to syncronise files between your machine and SIF. For more information, see the project website. 
  • SSH klient PuTTY SFTP. PuTTY i an SSH client developed for Windows, which is now available for other platforms too. It has a command line SFTP client you can use with SIF. NB: for security reasons you must use a recent version to connect to our SFTP service. 0.67 and newer versions will work, but older versions (at least up to 0.64) will reject connection with the error “Couldn't agree a key exchange algorithm: available ...”. A look at the PuTTY Changes show that there are a number of security corrections, that in themselves are reason enough to upgrade to version 0.68 or newer. For more information, see the project website.

Special Linux case

You can access SFTP remote folders on most modern Linux distributions via Files. The approach is indentical to that of WebDAVS, with the one difference that you should change the URL to point to SFTP.

Type in the server details from SFTP under setup, and click Connect. Replace sftp with ssh in the address if it fails.

SSHFS

You can tie remote folders locally with SSHFS on Mac OSX and Linux, which lets you use the contents like a local folder. You can find brief how-to directions in your SFTP tab under Setup, by clikcing Show more SFTP client details…
