Configuring Remote SFTP Hosts

An administrator must configure one or more valid remote SFTP hosts in order to direct composition output or report output to an SFTP server.

1. In the Workbench Ribbon, select the Administration tab, then from the Maintenance band, select Remote Hosts.
   The Remote Hosts dialog appears.
2. Click Add to configure a new SFTP host, or to modify an existing remote host, select the Production Server name and click Edit.
   The SFTP Host Settings dialog appears.
3. Provide the following remote host details:

   Field	Description
   Name	A text string to identify or select the remote host in various dialogs.
   Host	The host server identifier.
   Port	The port number used for the host server.
   Fingerprint	The remote server's SSH/SFTP key fingerprint, a security feature that allows client applications to authenticate the SFTP server. If the fingerprint was changed, either the private key was changed or another server pretends to be the expected server.

4. To validate the fingerprint entry, click Validate.
   • If the fingerprint has never been validated, the Fingerprint validation field shows Hasn't been validated. Click Retrieve to retrieve the fingerprint value, which will be treated like a valid value.
   • If previously validated, the Fingerprint validation field shows the timestamp of the last validation.
5. Select the Use Proxy Server check box if you want to access the SFTP Host using a proxy server.
6. If you are using a proxy server, you must provide the following details:

   Field	Description
   Proxy Host	The host server identifier.
   Proxy Port	The port number used for the proxy server.
   Proxy Username	The username to access the proxy server.
   Proxy Password	The password to access the proxy server.

7. Click OK.
   The Remote Hosts dialog appears. If you have added or modified a remote server, that information is displayed in a table row.
8. Click OK.
