5.1. Setting-up Connection protocols

Sysax Multi Server supports secure file transfer protocols such as FTPS, SFTP, and HTTPS in addition to SSH2 Secure Shell. FTP, HTTP, and Telnet are also supported. The Enterprise Edition allows multiple protocols to be simultaneously selected. The Professional and Personal Editions allows the selection of a single protocol at a time. If multiple protocols are simultaneously enabled, each protocol must have a different port number associated with it.

Multi Server Account Setup


  • SSH2 based Secure Shell and SFTP

    This option enables Secure shell so that users can remotely login and have access to a command prompt. It also enables file transfer using SFTP. In both cases, data transfer is protected with SSH2 based encryption. The default connection port number is 22.

  • SSH2 based SFTP only

    This option only enables file transfer using SFTP. Secure Shell access is disabled and users will not have access to a command prompt. In this case, data transfer is protected with SSH2 based encryption. The default connection port number is 22.

  • SSH2 based Secure Shell only

    This option only enables remote login access without the ability to transfer files. Connected users have access to a command prompt to run commands on the system. The connection is protected with SSH2 based encryption. The default connection port number is 22.

  • Telnet

    This option enables unsecured remote login access without the ability to transfer files. Connected users have access to a command prompt to run commands on the system. The connection is not encrypted and can be used within internal networks to eliminate the additional overhead associated with encryption. The default connection port number is 23.

  • FTP and FTPS(SSL/TLS)

    This option enables unsecured file transfer using FTP or secured file transfer using SFTP. FTP connections are not encrypted and can be used within internal networks to eliminate additional overhead associated with encryption. FTPS connections are protected with SSH/TLS based encryption. The default connection port number in both cases is 21.

  • FTPS(SSL/TLS) Explicit

    This option only enables file transfer using explicit FTPS. In explicit FTPS, the connection is first established without encryption. An encryption mechanism based on SSL/TLS is then negotiated and subsequent data transfers are encrypted. The default connection port is 21.

  • FTPS(SSL/TLS) Implicit

    This option only enables file transfer using implicit FTPS. In implicit FTPS, the connection is always encrypted with SSL/TLS. The default connection port is 990.

  • HTTP File Server

    This option enables files to be transferred using a regular web browser such as Internet Explorer. The connection is not encrypted and can be used within internal networks, eliminating the additional overhead associated with encryption. The default connection port is 80.

  • HTTPS File Server

    This option enables files to be securely transferred using a regular web browser such as Internet Explorer. The connection is protected with SSL/TLS based encryption.
