SFTP Server Mode

In SFTP server mode, MFT Gateway hosts the SFTP server on your behalf. Each server mode partner gets a dedicated SFTP user and home directory on the MFT Gateway SFTP server (sftp.mftgateway.com), and your trading partner connects to it as an SFTP client using an SSH key pair. Your partner uploads files to send them to you and downloads the files you send them.

Use server mode when your trading partner does not host an SFTP server of their own. If your partner already has an SFTP server and wants you to connect to it, use SFTP Client Mode instead.
