For this parameter... | Specify... | |
Host Name or IP Address | The host name or IP address of the SFTP server. | |
Port Number | The port number of the SFTP server. The port number must be within the range of 1 and 65535 (inclusive). | |
Host Public Key | The public key of the SFTP server. Select Auto Retrieve if you want Integration Cloud to automatically retrieve the public key of the SFTP server. Select Upload if you have the public key of the SFTP server. Integration Cloud will use the uploaded public key. | |
Finger Print | The SFTP server’s host public key fingerprint. Before establishing a connection, the SFTP server sends an encrypted fingerprint of its host public keys to ensure that the SFTP connection will be exchanging data with the correct server. This field is visible only after you have established a connection to an SFTP server. Save the fingerprint information locally. This enables you to check the fingerprint information against the data you have saved every time you establish a new connection. | |
User Name | The user name for the SFTP user account. | |
Authentication Type | The type of authentication that Integration Cloud uses to authenticate itself to the SFTP server. Client authentication can be either by password or by public and private keys. | |
Select... | To... | |
Password | Use password authentication. If you are using password authentication, enter the password for the specified user to connect to the SFTP server. | |
Public Key | Authenticate Integration Cloud by using public and private keys. To use this authentication type, the SFTP server and Integration Cloud must each have access to their own private key and each other's public key. | |
Private Key | If you selected Public Key as the authentication type, select the private key file of the specified SFTP user. | |
PassPhrase | If you selected Public Key as the authentication type and if the private key you specified requires a passphrase, enter the passphrase for the private key file of the specified user. | |
Advanced Options | ||
Maximum Retries | The number of times Integration Cloud attempts to connect to the SFTP server. The maximum allowed value is 6. The minimum allowed value is 1. | |
Connection TimeOut (seconds) | The amount of time (measured in seconds) Integration Cloud waits for a response from the SFTP server before timing out and terminating the request. A value of 0 indicates that the session will never time out. | |
Session Timeout (minutes) | The number of minutes you want Integration Cloud to wait before terminating an idle session. The session timeout value must be within the range of 10 and 60. | |
Preferred Key Exchange Algorithms | The algorithms that Integration Cloud presents to the SFTP server for key exchange. You can specify the order in which Integration Cloud presents the algorithms to the SFTP server by moving the available algorithms up or down by clicking Move Up or Move Down. The SFTP server has its own set of preferred algorithms configured. At the time of key exchange, one of the algorithms supported by both Integration Cloud and the SFTP server will be chosen. | |
Compression | Whether or not to compress the data to reduce the amount of data that is transmitted. Integration Cloud supports compression using the compression algorithm zlib. You can use compression only if the SFTP server that you are connecting to supports compression. | |
Select... | To... | |
None | Not compress the data. | |
zlib | Compress the data that is transmitted between the SFTP server and Integration Cloud. | |
Compression Level | The compression level to use if you selected the compression algorithm zlib in the Compression field. The minimum allowed value is 1 (fast, less compression) and the maximum allowed value is 9 (slow, most compression). |
