Externally Accessing the Application Filesystem


Service Plans support SFTP access to their Application Filesystem.

Any SFTP client of your choice can be used. The Service Plan’s FTP credentials can be found on the Service Plan’s details page on the Cloud Portal, along with the ability to enable and disable access to FTP. Verj.io recommends that you only enable access for the duration of interaction with the application’s filesystem.

Keys

By default, SFTP access requires a username and password to be supplied, however Service Plans also support SFTP access using an SSH key-based authentication.

SSH public keys can be added to a file named authorized_keys and then added to the application filesystem’s ftp directory. This file must be granted 0600 (-rw-------) file permissions.

Clients with a corresponding SSH private key can then login to SFTP without having to use a password.
