    Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a secure version of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that enables data transfer over a Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.

    SFTP connector allows the downloading of source files and uploading of target files directly to/from the SFTP repository. The connector uses the SFTP API to implement the integration.

    Use Cases

    There are a number of use cases for the connector:

    • Project managers can add files directly to projects from an online repository.

    • Set up the submitter portal to allow Submitters to add files to requests directly from the online repository.

    • Use automated project creation (APC) to have new projects automatically created when a change in the last modified date is detected for monitored files or a folder.

      • This connector supports absolute path setting.

    • Set up continuous jobs to have selected files monitored for changes.

    SFTP Settings

    No changes are required on the SFTP server itself. The server must accept connections from the Phrase server IP addresses. Refer to Phrase Servers IP Addresses for the current list.
