SFTP

Nextcloud's SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) backend supports both password and
|
|
public key authentication.
|
|
|
|
The **Host** field is required. The default port is 22 (SSH).
|
|
|
|
For public key authentication, you can generate a public/private key pair from
|
|
your **SFTP with secret key login** configuration.

|
|
|
|
After generating your keys, you need to copy your new public key to the
|
|
destination server to ``.ssh/authorized_keys``. Nextcloud will then use its
|
|
private key to authenticate to the SFTP server.
|
|
|
|
The default **Remote Subfolder** is the root directory (``/``) of the remote
|
|
SFTP server, and you may enter any directory you wish.

See :doc:`../external_storage_configuration_gui` for additional mount
|
|
options and information.

See :doc:`auth_mechanisms` for more information on authentication schemes.
