Hello community,

I have a question regarding our use of Password Safe. In our organization, we use Password Safe to access privileged SSH sessions. However, a question recently came up: since Password Safe is our only access method to managed Linux systems and credentials are never exposed to users, we're wondering how we could securely perform SCP or SFTP file transfers between two of our managed Linux systems.

Has anyone encountered a similar scenario or found an effective approach for handling file transfers in a Password Safe-controlled environment?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello ​@gabriel.restrepo, You can use direct connect to SFTP. Here are some articles to help:

 

Direct Connect string for SSH using CMD, Putty, MobaXterm, WinSCP and Filezilla

MobaXterm SFTP side pane missing directories and file when doing Quick Connect session that are proxied through Password Safe

 

 

Hope this helps

Hi Gloria,

 

Thank you for your response — that’s a great approach for scenarios where I need to download files to my laptop or upload them to a managed system.

However, my question was more focused on cases where the transfer is between two managed systems within the PasswordSafe environment.

 

Thank you for your support.
