SFTP & SSH client for Niagara 4 — securely transfer files and execute remote commands from your station.
A native Niagara 4 module that adds SFTP file transfer and SSH command execution capabilities to your station. No external tools, no scripting — just drag, drop, and configure.
- 📤 Upload alarm logs, trend data, or reports to a remote server
- 📥 Download configuration files or firmware to your station
- 💻 SSH into Linux-based controllers to run diagnostics
- 🔄 Automate file synchronization between JACE and NAS
SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is encrypted by default and runs over a single port (22), making it firewall-friendly and secure. No need for separate FTP ports or FTPS certificates.
- Niagara 4.14 or later
- gline.pem public certificate -- certificate only, no private key (provided with license / trial)
- Network access to target SSH/SFTP server (outbound port 22)
# 1. Install the public gline.pem certificate (certificate only -- it contains no private key) into your station trust store
