Enabling Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) for Media Objects

Oracle recommends using SSH file transfer protocol, otherwise referred to as Secure FTP (SFTP), for media object access as a more secure alternative to FTP. When the Business Services Server is configured to use SFTP for media objects, the Media Object published business service 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 Business Services Server 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 Business Services Server will wait to make a secure SFTP connection. If you receive a connection timeout error when trying to connect to SFTP server, increase the timeout value.

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.

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