Set Up Secure FTP (SFTP) for Media Object Access

Oracle recommends using SSH file transfer protocol, otherwise referred to as Secure FTP (SFTP), for accessing media objects as a more secure alternative to FTP. When EnterpriseOne is configured to use SFTP for media objects, users can securely upload, download, and delete media objects.

When using SFTP, make sure that the SFTP user home folder is the same as the FTP user home folder for media object operations.

To enable SFTP, configure the following HTML Server settings located in the Web Runtime group settings in Server Manager:

  • Use Secure FTP for MediaObject Fetch. Click this check box to use SFTP to access media objects.

  • Timeout for SFTP connection. The amount of time, in milliseconds, the EnterpriseOne web client will wait to make a secure SFTP connection. If you receive a connection timeout error while connecting to SFTP, increase the timeout value.

Important: If you are using Cygwin SFTP, make sure you add the following setting to the /etc/sshd_config file:KexAlgorithms diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

For details about the configuration settings mentioned in this section, refer to the Server Manager internal help for each setting. For information on how to access the configuration settings in Server Manager, see the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Server Manager Guide.
