Port-forwarding Configuration

Through SSH tunneling, the FTP command connection is protected. This mechanism is based on an existing SSH port-forwarding configuration. You must configure SSH port forwarding on the SSH listen host before you configure the supporting adapter Connection.

For example, on the Java CAPS client host localhost, you can issue a command, such as:

ssh -L 4567:atlas:21 -o BatchMode=yes atlas

Under the adapter’s configuration for the previous example, you must specify:

• localhost for the parameter SSH Listen Host

• 4567 for the parameter SSH Listen Port

In this case, the adapter connects to the FTP server atlas:21 through an SSH tunnel.
