In this video, we walk through how to enable, configure, and secure the SFTP listener in Globalscape EFT using recommended best practices.
You’ll see:
- How to verify and activate the SFTP module license in EFT
- Where to enable the SFTP listener at the site level and configure the listening port
- How to review and harden SSH ciphers and key exchange settings, including guidance on disabling weaker algorithms
- When and how to enable FIPS mode to enforce approved cryptographic standards
- How to manage SFTP site keys, including importing existing keys or generating new RSA or elliptic curve keys
- Available SFTP authentication options, including password‑based, key‑based, and multi‑factor authentication
This demo is useful for administrators who are setting up SFTP for the first time or reviewing existing configurations to align with current security recommendations.
By the end of the video, your EFT server will be ready to accept secure inbound SFTP connections using modern cryptography and authentication controls.
