SSH Key Details is used to login to SFTP Gateway instead of a password.
Select one of these options for the user * The "Generate new SSH keys pair" option will generate a new key pair, write the public key to theauthorized_keys
file, and download the private key once the user is saved.Note: You will need to make the private key available to the user by email or any other secure way (learn more).
- The "Upload user-provided SSH key" option will display a browse button that will allow you to navigate to a public
key file to be uploaded and written to the user's
authorized_keys
file.

S3 Encryption Level is used to encrypt object uploaded to S3 by the user.
Here are all your options: * SSE-S3: Is used by default. There is no additional cost, performance impact, nor key management overhead. You basically get some security compliance with no drawbacks. * KMS: You use the AWS key-managed service for encryption. This is similar to SSE-S3, but requires some configuration on your part. If you are not seeing the KMS keys you created, click the refresh button next to the dropdown. * No server side encryption: This is a good option if your S3 bucket is open to the public. Otherwise, it's best to take advantage of SSE-S3. -
Enable Shared Directory is used to allow multiple SFTP Gateway users to access the same set of files. This will create a folder in the default S3 bucket (even if the user has a custom bucket configured) called
/shared
.
Any files created in this S3 location will get synced down to this Linux filesystem location:/home/username/home/username/shared/
-
Enable Download Directory is used to allow this user to see what is on S3 through the use of Download Folders.
By default, this will create a folder in your S3 bucket:/downloads
. Any files created in this S3 location will get synced down to this Linux filesystem location:
/home/username/home/username/downloads/
-
Upload Destination S3 Bucket Name is used to specify the custom S3 bucket name for this user.
Note: This will create a new bucket or point to an existing bucket that you own.
- Upload Destination Prefix is used to specify the S3 path to use for this user.
Note: The user's files will be uploaded to s3://my-custom-bucket/my/custom/path/
.
