SSH/SFTP Properties

Corner Bowl Server Manager enables you to manage any Linux or other Unix-based server using SSH and SFTP/SSH.

To configure SSH/SFTP:

  • From the Explorer view, locate the Linux/Unix server you would like to manage, right click then select Host Properties. The Host Properties view displays.
  • Select the SSH/SFTP tab.
  • Check the Enabled check box to enable SSH and SFTP.
Important
After enabling SSH/SFTP, all assigned File and Directory Templates use SFTP to download and monitor files and directories.
  • Use the Username text box to specify your login username.
  • Use the Password/Passphrase text box to specify your login password.
  • Use Private key filename text box to specify a private PEM key filename.
  • Use the Port text box to specify a non-standard SSH port. The default port value is 22.
  • Use the Elevated privileges drop-down to select one of the following SSH options:
OptionDescription
(None)Execute commands without elevating privileges.
sudoPrepend "sudo" to every command.
sudo -sCall "sudo -s" immediately after connecting.
Important
When selcting sudo -s, the underlying connection uses a raw stream. The raw stream requires each command in a sequence of commands to wait 3 seconds between calls enabling the stream reader to receive each corresponding response prior to executing the next command. Error responses are not currently processed.
  • Once you have specified the required parameters, click the Test button to verify Server Manager is able to connect to the SSH server and retrieve the current directory list.
