Bug sftp connection to the same server(from same server)
Hi,

After logging in to a server, Can I open a new sftp connection to the same server from the same server itself. Does it have any connection issues/limitations for ports etc. and can I copy/move files using the new sftp connection in the same server. Do we have any limitations of opening new connections to the same server after logging in to the server.

Thank you.

There could be limitations based on your kernel settings, network settings, system load, etc. At a minimum usage and low load levels, probably not. But the question will be asked - WHY? I believe that files you copy from the server to the same server using sftp will traverse the network. So why create unnecessary traffic for doing local copies?
