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 if the instance was installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP marketplace image (for a conventional RPM installation, use the configured user). The security rules must allow SSH access to allow SFTP access to the Charon-SSP cloud instance.

Please note: 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.
