FAQ

What are the minimum server requirements for working with the SFTP protocol?

To support the SFTP protocol, a server should have:

  • An operating system compatible with SFTP (typically Unix-based but also available for Windows).
  • SSH (Secure Shell) support, as SFTP is a subsystem of SSH.
  • Adequate CPU and RAM to manage simultaneous file transfers.
  • Sufficient storage, depending on the volume of data to be managed.
  • An open and secured port, commonly port 22 for SFTP.

Does the SFTP protocol work with Windows and Linux?

Yes, the SFTP protocol is compatible with both Windows and Linux operating systems. While it's natively supported on Linux, Windows might require additional software or configurations for full SFTP functionality.

Does the SFTP protocol work with Windows and Linux?

Yes, the SFTP protocol is compatible with both Windows and Linux operating systems. While it's natively supported on Linux, Windows might require additional software or configurations for full SFTP functionality.

What software do I need to work with SFTP?

To work with SFTP, you'll need SFTP server software installed on your server, such as OpenSSH for Linux or Bitvise for Windows. On the client side, you'd use an SFTP client, like FileZilla, WinSCP, or Cyberduck, to initiate secure file transfers.

How do I access my file transfer server?

To access your file transfer server, use an SFTP client and input the server's IP address or domain name, port (usually 22 for SFTP), and your username and password. Once connected, you can navigate, upload, or download files securely.

When is it recommended to use a server for file transfer?

Using a server for file transfer is recommended when:

  • Handling sensitive or proprietary data.
  • Transferring large volumes of files or large-sized files.
  • Needing centralized storage accessible from multiple locations.
  • Requiring a controlled environment with user permissions and secure file access.

Can I set up different SFTP/FTPS accesses with different permissions?

Absolutely! Modern SFTP server software allows you to create multiple user accounts, each with unique permissions. This means you can grant specific directory access, set read/write permissions, and even limit the volume of data transfer for individual users.

How secure is Hostkey’s SFTP solution?

Hostkey's SFTP solution is designed with top-tier security standards. It utilizes robust encryption techniques during file transfer, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. Furthermore, regular security patches and updates ensure the SFTP server remains protected against known vulnerabilities.

Does Hostkey have any access to the files transferred at any time?

No, Hostkey prioritizes user privacy and data security. Files transferred via our SFTP solution remain confidential. Hostkey does not access, view, or share your files unless explicitly required for troubleshooting or compliance reasons, always maintaining strict confidentiality protocols.

Does Hostkey’s SFTP solution work with modern FTP clients?

Yes, Hostkey's SFTP solution is compatible with a wide range of modern FTP clients. Whether you're using FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, or other popular FTP clients, you can seamlessly integrate with Hostkey's SFTP server for secure file transfers.
