We have to establish a SFTP connection to an external partner because we have to pick up some files (SFTP sender adapter). Therefor we have to open port 22 for this connection. I've got two questions from our security guys.
For question 2 I have only found an implicit hint. SAP note 2069078 indicates that the adapter has exactly the required behavior.
Hi Gil,
For question 2:
You have option in Sftp adapter, connection mode as per file transfer or permanent.

Manoj

Maybe I haven't the newest version of the SFTP plugin. And I've found this online help.

I have to reactivate this topic again. In the meantime we installed the SP04 and I imported the corresponding ESR content but I can find a possibility to activate the permanent activation mode. Can anybody help here?
Here is the documentation for SP04: http://help.sap.com/nw-secure-connect104
Release notes: "Permanent connection mode is supported for SFTP receiver channels."
But I can't find the corresponding parameter in the configuration guide. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw-secure-connect104/helpdata/en/cd/7c47aa02074adbbc7ba541b446c026/frame...
And the next problem is that this feature is only for the receiver. I need a statement for the sender.
For your first question,
Yes it is secured. It also uses SSL/TLS just like your HTTPS connection does. On top of it, you are polling FTP server (not like FTP server is pushing files on your PI server), so until unless your FTP server is compromised, no one can enter in your PI system.
