Embedded Servers—sFTP Server

Use the Embedded Servers tab and the sFTP tab to edit embedded sFTP server properties. How?

Note:

For information about the FTP tab, see Embedded Servers—FTP Server.

Oracle Managed File Transfer includes built-in FTP and sFTP servers, which handle many of the types of file transfers performed. To transfer a file using one of the embedded servers, copy the file into one of the embedded server directories.

The Embedded Servers tab and the sFTP subtab are arranged in the following sections:

General Actions and Configuration

The General Actions and Configuration section of the Embedded Servers tab allows you to save all embedded server properties and edit general properties.

You must set it to a shared location if multiple Oracle WebLogic Server instances run in a cluster.

See Embedded Servers—Ports for how to restart these servers.
