SFTP/FTP/FTPS Client

Supported pipeline types:

  • Data Collector
The SFTP/FTP/FTPS Client destination writes whole files to a URL using the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or FTP Secure (FTPS) protocol. For information about supported versions, see Supported Systems and VersionsSupported Systems and Versions in the Data Collector documentation.

When you configure the SFTP/FTP/FTPS Client destination, you specify the protocol to use and the URL where the destination writes files on the remote server. You can also use a connectionconnection to configure the destination. The destination can create paths that do not exist. You also specify an expression for the file name to write and the action to take when the file already exists on the server.

When needed, you can connect to the server through an HTTP or SOCKS proxy.

If the server requires authentication, configure the credentials for the protocol you are using. For the SFTP protocol, the destination can require that the server be listed in a known hosts file. For the FTPS protocol, the destination can authenticate with the server using a client certificate and can authenticate the certificate from the FTPS server.

The destination can generate events for an event stream. For more information about the event framework, see Dataflow Triggers Overview.
