7 Accessing EDQ Files Remotely

This chapter describes how to access certain directories in the EDQ directory.

7.1 Using FTP and SFTP Server to Access EDQ Files

EDQ is supplied with internal File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) servers. These servers enable remote access to the configuration file area and landing area files.

The FTP server can be accessed with a third-party FTP client using any valid EDQ username and password, connecting to the port specified by the ftpserver.port in the director.properties file.

The SFTP server is controlled by the sshd.port property in director.properties. The default value is 2222.

The following directories are available via the FTP and SFTP servers:

Directory Description
config This corresponds to the EDQ base configuration directory (edqhome).
config1 This corresponds to the EDQ local configuration directory (edq.local.home).
landingarea This corresponds to the landingarea directory in the EDQ installation.
projectlandingarea This corresponds to the project specific landing areas in the EDQ installation.
commands This corresponds to the commandarea directory in the EDQ local configuration directory (oedq_local_home).
