The Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) Connector is designed to download from or upload files to an SFTP-enabled server using SSH. Unlike the standard FTP Connector, the SFTP Connector encrypts both data and commands to ensure that no sensitive data is exposed when transmitted over a network. SFTP uses a different protocol than FTP, which means you cannot use a standard FTP client to communicate with an SFTP server.
Connector Configuration
Configuring a connector to communicate with SFTP requires the setup of two different components, the connection and connector operation. This design allows for reusability of the components, which contain connection settings such as username, password, etc. Once your connection and connector operation are built, you will need to set up your connector within the process model. When your connector is configured properly within your process, Boomi AtomSphere will be able to map to and from virtually any system using the SFTP connector to retrieve data from or send data to the Intacct application.
Prerequisites
Contact your SFTP administrator for assistance.
- An SFTP user with sufficient read/write access to the required remote directories.
- A port for SFTP Communications. The default port is 22.
- If the SFTP server is not exposed to the Internet, the Atom must be deployed locally to a machine within your network that can access it.
