Configuring the sftp (SSH File Transfer protocol) client for SSH

Tutorial on configuring the SSH client

Z and I Emulator for Web 1.0 supports a subset of SSH Version 2 for the following session types:

  • VT Display
  • sftp (SSH File Transfer protocol)

Although this tutorial describes SSH configuration only for a VT Display session, SSH configuration for an sftp session is very similar to SSH configuration for a VT Display session.

In fact, the two configuration processes are almost identical.

The only difference is the location of the User ID and Password fields. As later pages of this tutorial describe, for a VT Display session the User ID and Password fields are in the SSH configuration window.

However, for the sftp client, the SSH configuration window does not include fields for the User ID and Password (click here to see the SSH configuration window for an sftp session). Instead, the sftp client uses the values in the User ID and Password fields of the Logon configuration window (click here to see the Logon configuration window for an sftp session).
