I currently have an sftp site setup on AWS where I can connect via Filezilla by providing the long AWS Public DNS name or the Public IP address(hostname) along with my credentials.
I have an existing domain abc.com which is hosted elsewhere(not aws). I want to use a sub domain such as sftp.abc.com to connect to my sftp site instead of the IP address.
Can I create the subdomain(sftp.abc.com) on AWS using Route53? If so, how do I accomplish this?
Would this affect my primary domain site abc.com ?
Anyone who can give me some advice on this would be helpful. Thanks
Are you already using Route53 for your DNS? – Attie – 2018-06-25T17:26:46.487
Do you understand that DNS only provides loopup support for services like SFTP? So if you would like different servers on
abc.com
andsite.abc.com
, then you'll need two IP addresses. If you are content with different ports or usernames, then there is no need for an alternate domain name. – Attie – 2018-06-25T17:26:58.457SFTP / SSH does not interfere with HTTP / HTTPS – Attie – 2018-06-25T17:28:47.383
No.. I'm currently not using Route53 for the DNS. Yes, I would be pointing sitie.abc.com to an IP address. Would the steps mentioned in this article accomplish this? https://bubinga.co/pointing-subdomain-aws-ec2-instance/
