I need to download multiple files and folders from SFTP to a SharePoint folder. The SFTP connection uses a custom port and a private key file (.ppk) instead of password. How to achieve this via FME 2026.2?
FTPCaller supports SFTP, but for .ppk authentication it relies on an SSH agent such as PuTTY Pageant or ssh-agent rather than directly specifying the .ppk file in the transformer
You sFTP provider will need to add something there side
One tip with putty if to use SystemCaller with clean up task taskkill /IM pageant.exe /F
FTPCaller or SystemCaller (WinSCP sync entire SFTP folder)

SystemCaller (cleanup)
↓
Directory and File Path Reader (using the download path from the FTPcaller)
↓
SharePointOnlineConnector with upload action, perhaps the initator attribute fme_dataset or path_windows
Writing files in SharePointOnline will require you to work with your Azure Administrator to register an app with ReadWrite.All scope
