About this procedure

For outbound SFTP connections, by default Gateway uses the predefined SFTP template remote site. 

To allow the association of any number of security profiles for an outbound protocol, make sure that the SSH_OUT security profile you created is associated with the SFTP remote site.

Procedure

  1. In the left pane of the GUI main window, expand the nodes: Partner Management > Sites and click the Remote Site folder.
  2. Gateway displays the available Remote Sites.
  3. Double-click the SFTP Remote Site.
  4. Gateway displays the summary screen for this site.
  5. Select the SFTP tab.
  6. Confirm that the SSH Profile field displays SFTP_OUT (or whatever name you assigned to the SSH outbound security profile).
  7. Click Close.
