I have an edit file and would like to use SFTP to upload to Apache2. Does Ubuntu have SFTP or I need to find one to install it to machine?

Your information and help is great appreciated,

Regards,

Inung

  • You did not give much detail. Generally you install ssh on the (apache) server and then ssh in via sftp. There are graphical interfaces for sftp. I like gftp. Be sure to secure your ssh server ;) – Panther Apr 25 '14 at 02:23

First of all, Apache2 and SFTP are different things - Apache2 is a HTTP server while SFTP is a file transfer protocol over SSH. So I assume your question is "how to transfer file to a server installed with Apache2 with SFTP".

First of all, you need SSH server installed to enable SFTP. You can verify if SSH server is installed with dpkg -s openssh-server. If it is not installed, please install it sudo apt-get install openssh-server. See more information on how to install OpenSSH Server at the other post.

If you have a firewall, remember to open port 22.
