SFTP Server

If Server only or Client (send only) and Server (receive only) is selected as the mode for a partner, then the settings required for the partner to dial in to the SFTP server of !MC5 can be adjustedon the Server page. Currently, the only possible login method is user name and password. The selected username and password must be communicated to the partner along with the other access data.

1 Open the Server page in the partner settings.

2 Select the login method you want for this partner. Currently, only login by username and password is supported.

3 Enter the user name with which the partner should be able to log in. There must be no other SFTP partner with the same user name! An empty user name can be specified, but logins with an empty user name will not be accepted. So as long as a unique, non-empty username isn't specified, the partner will not be able to log in.

4 Enter the password with which the partner should be able to log in. The password is displayed visibly when it is entered. After saving the settings, there is no more access to the password in plain text! When the settings are called up again, only a placeholder is displayed instead of the password. It can only be changed later, but not retrieved! Copy or remember the password before saving it so that you can send it to your partner together with the user name.

5 Click OK to save the settings and close the dialog. The partner can now log in via SFTP with the selected combination of user name and password.
