User Modification in Filezilla Client

I went to the sFTP node with my credentials. However, I need to use the sudo su - user equivalent (as used in linux) to change the user. No passwords have been set for this shared user, and therefore direct logon is not allowed.

Please help with the raw FTP command, which can be used with the parameter "Enter user command .." in the zilla client file.

This is necessary for transferring files by another user, and not with my name.

Thanks,

SFTP does not support changing a user in the middle of a transmission session (so there is no need to register and then change the user with some user command). But you can start the sftp server as the right user using sudo by changing the configuration of the SFTP client. I don't know if this FileZilla trick is supported, but it is supported by PuTTY or WinSCP. In the sftp server settings, you can specify something like "sudo / bin / sftp-server" to start a transfer session under another user.
For example, instructions on how to do this using WinSCP:
