sFTP from cloud - fixed IP address

Maxime Richard

Greetings everyone,

 

In order to connect to a 3rd party apps from the cloud, we can use sFTP connection point. The sFTP server we would like to connect to requires fixed IP address from the client. I am not an expert of everything that concerns network but is it possible to have such a configuration from the cloud ? If not, can we consider that using a SSH key is sufficient to ensure that the client trying to connect to the server is ION and nothing else ?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Client certs can be used with the underlying SSH session and are much safer than IP ACLs since source IP can be easily spoofed in TCP/IP. The only concern would be ability to modify the server and generate the certs on it.
