SSH Tunneling Configuration Parameters

You must set the following SSH tunneling parameters to configure the adapter Connection:

• SSH Tunneling Enabled: Specifies whether the FTP command connection is secured through an SSH tunnel:

  • No: indicates that all other parameters in this section are ignored.

• SSH Channel Established: Specifies whether the adapter needs to launch an SSH subprocess:

  • No: indicates that there is no existing SSH channel for an FTP transfer.

  • Yes: indicates that an SSH channel has been established, so it is not necessary for the adapter to spawn an SSH subprocess. If you select Yes, the following parameters are required:

  • SSH Listen Host

  • SSH Listen Port

• SSH Command Line: Specifies the command line used to establish an SSH channel. This parameter is required only when you set the SSH Channel Established parameter to No.

  The command-line syntax can be different, depending on the specific SSH client implementation. See your SSH-tunneling support software user’s guides for details.

• SSH Listen Host: Specifies the host name where the SSH support software runs, as well as the host it listens to.

  This parameter is required only when you set the SSH Channel Established parameter to Yes. If you choose No, the Listen Host is always localhost because the SSH support software is always started from the local host.

• SSH Listen Port: Specifies the port number that the SSH-tunneling support software uses to check for incoming connections. This port number can be any unused port number on the SSH listen host.

• SSH User Name: Specifies an SSH user name. This parameter can be required when the setting for the SSH Channel Established parameter is No.

• SSH Password: Specifies an SSH password corresponding to the user name entered under SSH User Name. This parameter can be required only when the setting for the SSH Channel Established parameter is No. For more information, see SSH User Name.
