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.
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.
-
Selected files are imported the very first time APC runs. No files are imported when a folder is monitored.
-
This connector supports absolute path setting.
-
-
Set up continuous jobs to have selected files monitored for changes.
