SFTP servers
The process of using an SFTP server is similar to the process for using an FTP server. However, an
SFTP server has a greater level of security than an FTP server, and more credentials are required to
use an SFTP server. You must set up and manage security keys and certificates, including
generating a SSH key, which you must then install on the SFTP server. For information on using
SFTP servers and generating SSH keys, see Chapter 4, “BCM50 Security Policies and Accounts
and Privileges,” on page 75.
See Table 15 for the information required to use an SFTP folder.
USB storage device
Storing information to a USB storage device is a very quick way of saving information, as the
transfers occur much more quickly than network or FTP transfers, depending on the speed of the
USB drive. The USB storage device must be connected to the BCM50. The backup and log
information can be saved only to the top level of the USB storage drive file hierarchy. Transfers
from the BCM50 to a USB storage device are relatively secure, but a USB storage device is small
and can be stolen easily if it is not in a secure location. The USB storage device must be formatted
as a FAT32 drive. The following USB storage devices have been tested and are supported:
• SanDisk 512 MB Cruzer Mini USB 2.0 Flash Drive
• SanDisk 256 MB Cruzer Mini USB 2.0 Flash Drive
• Lexar 512 MB Jumpdrive Sport 2.0/Rubber C
• Kingston 256 MB 2.0 DataTraveler Memory (DataTraveler PLUS)
• Kingston DataTraveler USB FlashDrive 256 (DataTraveler ELITE)
• Apacer 256 MB USB 2.0 HT202 Handy Drive
If your USB storage device is not on this list and you are encountering problems transferring
information to or from the BCM50 device, Nortel recommends using one of the devices listed
here.
