How it works

The SFTP (Legacy) connector enables secure file transfers to and from SFTP-enabled servers using SSH encryption via the Java Secure Channel (JSch) library. It supports multiple operations including GET, CREATE, QUERY, UPSERT, DELETE, LIST, and LISTEN for flexible file management workflows. Both data and commands are encrypted during transmission, ensuring sensitive information is never exposed over the network. This retired connector integrates with any version of an SFTP-enabled server and supports authentication via username/password or SSH private key.
