There are several ways to monitor SFTP file transfers:
1. Use SFTP server logs: Most SFTP servers generate logs that contain information about all file transfers. These logs can be used to monitor file transfer activities and detect any anomalies.
1. Use a network monitoring tool: Network monitoring tools such as Wireshark can be used to monitor network traffic and capture SFTP file transfers. This provides visibility into the files being transferred, their size, and the transfer speed.
1. Use file transfer monitoring software: File transfer monitoring software such as GoAnywhere MFT or Ipswitch MOVEit can be used to monitor SFTP file transfers. These tools provide advanced monitoring capabilities such as real-time alerts, tracking of file transfer status, and detailed audit trails.
1. Use built-in SFTP client monitoring: Some SFTP clients such as WinSCP provide built-in monitoring capabilities that enable users to monitor file transfers, view transfer history, and configure various transfer options.
