Configuring the upload type SSH (SSH jobs)

Jobs with the SSH upload type access an SSH server.

  1. Select your component in the Project tree.
  2. Click on the Create button in the menu bar or drag and drop the component into the Jobs area.
  3. Check whether the upload type Local directory is displayed in the Job configuration area.

  4. Configure the general sections General, Notification, Upload compare and Create a version automatically after job run. The sections Notification and Create a version automatically after job run are only displayed if the settings required for this have been made.

SSH settings section

  1. For SSH server, enter the IP address of the server to which a connection is to be established.
  2. Set the port through which communication is to take place. Port 22 is set by default.
  3. Enter the login data (Username and Password) of the user who is to access the SSH server. The user must have the necessary access rights.
  4. If the data is stored in a subdirectory of the SSH server, enter the path of the subdirectory. Access to the subdirectory must be possible with the specified login data.
  5. You can check whether the login to the SSH server is possible with the specified login data by clicking on the Check button. If the check is not successful, the job will also fail.

Info

You may need to enable the port set in step 2 in your firewall.

Advanced section

Activate the Upload only when timestamp is different (reduces network load) so that the timestamp is checked during the upload instead of the content of the files. This means that only new and edited files are uploaded for a backup. Files without changes are transferred from the previous backup, which further limits the network load.

File specifications and compare settings section

By default, comparisons are performed using the component's comparison settings. In this section, job-specific adjustments can be made.

The table shows the set comparison and storage behavior.

Activate the Enable custom configuration for this job checkbox and click Edit. In the dialog that opens, define new parameters for the comparison and storage process.
