Last modified date: 2022-06-24

Applied models:

All NAS Series

Applied Firmware:

All QTS Firmware Versions

The HBS 3 does not support sFTP protocol on QTS 4.5.x.

The sFTP and FTP are very similar. Both support batch transfer (transfer multiple files at once), folder/directory navigation, file movement, folder/directory creation, file deletion, the difference between sFTP and FTP are 1. Secure channel, 2. Protocol used, 3. Connection method, Security.

If you need more security protocol for file transmission, you could enable the FTP with SSL/TLS on HBS 3 to run the backup files.
