    SFTP is mostly a function of the server not the client. If it is not available on the server, the client cannot use it. In house IT people for major companies do not allow any type of FTP on the networks they support and will black ball any vendor any vendor who attempts to implement it. Most consider it as still less secure than SMB v1.

      SFTP =! FTPS
      SFTP is probably one of the most secure way to transfer files.

          Nope I'm not trained on Konica.
          Looks like only Brother offers to scan to SFTP with public key auth.

            Actually not. They are 2 different protocols and have different advantages and disadvantages.

            SFTP uses Secure Shell (SSH). FTPS uses SSL/TLS.

                SMB is more secure FTP IMHO is simply more robust.

                    I talked to KM yesterday and only the BH 5020i (Brother) can do SFTP. I have a Lexmark XC9235 (KM C258) in my storage and it does allow SFTP.

                      just putting this out there, scanning to a USB stick is probably as secure as you can get. no?
                      We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
                      The medication helps though...

                        As long as the USB, or SD card, is not infected with malware that can infect your MFP and/or call home and send your files as soon as you put it in your computer.

                          since security is the theme, i hope HDD data overwrite is on the copier so the file images cannot be extracted
