Configure a Device as SFTP Client
Network Requirements
- PC acts as the SFTP server, Device acts as the SFTP client, and the network between the server and the device is connected.
- On the SFTP server, set the user name of the device logging into the FTP server to admin and the password to admin; place the files to be downloaded in the directory of the SFTP server.
- The device acts as the SFTP client to upload and download the file with the SFTP server.

Configuration Steps
Step 1: Create VLANs, and add ports to the required VLANs.(Omitted)
Step 2: Configure the SFTP server and place the files to be downloaded to the directory of the SFTP server (omitted).
Step 3: Configure the IP address of the device, making the network between the client and the server be connected (omitted).
Step 4: Device acts as the SFTP client to download and upload the file with the SFTP server.
# Download one file from the SFTP server to the file system of the device.
Device#sftp get 2.0.0.1 22 admin admin sp8-g-6.6.7(46)-dbg.pck sp8-g-6.6.7(46)-dbg.pck
The authenticity of host '2.0.0.1 (2.0.0.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is e4:dd:11:2e:82:34:ab:62:59:1c:c8:62:1d:4b:48:99.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
