SFTP Transport Type
In short, SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) allows secure file transferring. It is a secure version of FTP, in that it uses SSH (Secure Shell) to encrypt the data stream.
There are three sections when configuring SFTP, which are described in detail below.
Sftp Settings
Destination Folder
Destination SFTP folder, a folder on the SFTP-server where the files are delivered.
Temp. Folder
Temporary SFTP folder. Sometimes there is a temp-folder on the SFTP-server that the connection can use. It helps to minimize the amount of time where the connection locks the file-system.
Before Put
FTP command to execute before writing the file.
After Put
FTP command to execute after writing the file.
These settings always have to be filled out.
