SFTP Connector

It is used to transfer files securely using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). It provides secure communication by encrypting data.

Service Description

There are two component options for configuring a connector to communicate with SFTP:

  • SFTP Receiver Connector
  • SFTP Sender Connector

SFTP is the abbreviation of "SSH File Transfer Protocol". It is a network protocol used to transfer files over the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol. SFTP uses encryption and authentication mechanisms to transfer files securely. Therefore, data is encrypted and security is ensured while being transmitted. SFTP is widely used for secure file transfer over the network. It is especially preferred in areas such as web servers, file servers and cloud storage services. SFTP can be used in situations where sensitive data needs to be transferred or in any scenario that requires secure file transfer. The SFTP connector allows integrations to connect to SFTP servers and perform various file operations. These operations include administrative operations such as file downloading and file uploading. SFTP connectors can be used in any scenario that requires secure file transfer between different systems or where sensitive data needs to be transferred.

Beginning

Follow these steps before starting the integration:

  • The address, username and password of the SFTP server to which you want to connect are required. SFTP server information can be obtained from the server provider or network administrator. Entering this information correctly is important to ensure connection.
  • In some cases, authentication can be done using an SSH key. SSH key can be used instead of password-based authentication and is a more secure method. You can connect using the server's SSH key and your own SSH key if necessary.
  • You must have the necessary permissions to access the SFTP server. The username and password must be correct and have access permissions determined by the server.
  • Create Basic credential for SFTP in the Credential tab on the Operations page.
