Overview of SFTP
The SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a network protocol that is based on the Secure Shell protocol (SSH). SFTP facilitates secure file access, file transfer, and file management over any reliable data stream.
You can configure Integration Server to connect to an SFTP server to perform the following tasks using the SFTP protocol:
*Transfer files between Integration Server and the SFTP server. You can get a file from the SFTP server and store it in the local machine or upload a file from your local machine to the SFTP server.
*Access files in the SFTP server. You can view the directories and files in the SFTP server and also view their permissions and ownership information.
*Manage directories or files in the SFTP server. You can create, rename, or delete files or directories in the SFTP server. You can also change the permissions or ownership of files in the SFTP server.
You can use Integration Server Administrator to define the following SFTP aliases:
*SFTP server alias. The SFTP server alias contains configuration parameters that Integration Server uses to connect to an SFTP server.
*SFTP user alias. The SFTP user alias contains client configuration parameters that Integration Server uses to authenticate and function as an SFTP client.
