SFTP

SFTP connectors are secure gateways through which data can be moved in and out of the Platform using Secure Shell (SSH) keys. It is referred to as a database connector.

SSH Keys

SSH Keys provide a more secure method of logging into a server than using a password. For security purposes, SSH keys are only accessible to the user that created the connector on behalf of the organisation. If you are using an SFTP connector created by a different user, contact this user to obtain access to the SFTP server location to retrieve the exported data.

Note: the SFTP connector type is not available on all environments. If needed, contact Supporg.
