CAUTION:
• A user without an SSH account can still pass password authentication and log in to the server throu

Stelnet or SFTP, as long as the user can pass AAA authentication and the service type is SSH.
• For successful login through SFTP, you must set the user service type to sftp or all.
• SSH1 does not support the service type sftp. If the client uses SSH1 to log in to the server, you must se
t
the service type to stelnet or all on the server.
• An SFTP user’s working folder depends on the authentication method. For a user usin
g
only password
authentication, the working folder is the AAA authorized one. For a user using only publickey
authentication or using both the publickey and password authentication methods, the workin
g
folder is
the one set by using the ssh user command.
• You can change the authentication method and public key of an SSH user when the user is
communicating with the SSH server, but your chan

s out and lo
g
s in
again.
NOTE:
• With publickey authentication, which commands a user can use after login depends on the user
privilege level, which is configured with the user privilege level command on the user interface.
• With password authentication, which commands a user can use after login depends on AAA
authorization.
