Celerra implements FTPs but not sftp - see the "Configuring FTP on Celerra" manual.
If you need sftp you're only option is to front-end the Celerra with a sftp capable server that gets the data from the Celerra using one of the supported protocols.
From the manual:
FTP Secure connection
FTPS connections are very similar to FTP connections, except that FTP traffic is sent over
SSL when FTPS connections are used. SSL provides encryption and authentication capabilities.
The default ports for control and data requests over FTPS are 990 and 989, respectively.
Other ports can also be used for FTPS based on the client FTP software configuration and
the SSL parameters set on the Data Mover by the server_ftp command. FTPS connections
to a client require a certificate signed by the Certificate Authority (CA) to be installed on
the Data Mover. Optionally, a CA certificate may also be installed on the client. This enables
the client to check the signature sent by the Data Mover.
The keys and certificates used with SSL are managed by using public key infrastructure
(PKI). PKI is available through the CLI and Celerra Manager.
Note:
Celerra supports FTPS connections over SSL. Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) connections,
which use Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, are not supported.
Rainer - I thought I read somewhere that SFTP is going to be or is supported in a later VNX code but I can't seem to find it again. Do you know?
Also, when a user logs into the Celerra via FTPS, are "all" filesystems accessible(particularly NFS exported-only ones) or is it limited to FS's shared via CIFS?
Yes, sftp has been implemented for quite a while now – see the Using FTP, TFTP, and SFTP on VNX manual available from Powerlink
a ftp user can see all the file systems.
The fact that you use a CIFS login just uses the CIFS password – file access rights depend on your access policy for that file system just like with regular multi-protocol.

Should be explained in the manual
