SFTP File Transfer

SFTP enables file transfers to and from the Charon-SSP host instance in the cloud. The user for file transfers is the charon user. The security rules must allow SSH access to allow SFTP access to the Charon-SSP cloud instance.

Depending on the type of connection, you will have to use either the public IP address of the Charon host system in the cloud or its address in a customer-specific VPN.

To connect to the instance as the user charon, use the following command:

$ sftp -i <path-to-your-private-key> charon@<cloudhost-IP-address>

Below you see sample output of a connection (using a private IP address in a customer-specific VPN):

$ sftp -i ~/.ssh/mykey.pem charon@10.1.1.50
Connected to charon@10.1.1.50.
