Any idea what is the port used for SFTP in HPUX. The port may be same for all Operating systems.

Thanks,

Yes i have seen it inthe /etc/services. But is confused with Secure FTP.

Do it use the same port as 115 or being it is part of SSH it uses the 22 port.?

Tx,
Nair

OpenSSH's sftp will connect to port 22 by default. This can be changed with the "-p" option or in the ssh_config file. This is the target port# it will connect to, it's not a listner. The listner will be port 22 (default) for sshd. That can be changed in the sshd_config.

hope this helps,

Hi Nair

If this is secure ftp ... the initial connection setup port will be 22 as per ssh protcol spec.

The connection afterwards will be then move to a port in the "dynamic" port allocation range.

SFTP works with SSH.
