Hi,

 

Need to transfer a csv file to the vendor SFTP site.

The vendor provided the following specs:

Account: xyzftp

Password: xxxxxxxxx

Server Name FTPCA1.xyz.com

IP Address 22.222.22.222

Location Microsoft Canada Azure Cloud

Client IP Restrictions Not Supported

Protocols SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)

FTPS (FTP over SSL), Passive ports 5000-5099

Certificate Yes. For FTPS SSL Encryption

Additional Notes

- You must use an FTP client which supports SFTP or FTPS for connection to our servers.

- Do not use a web browser. 

- Do not use the DOS/CMD FTP program. It does not support SSL.

- Supported Protocols

--SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol)

--Automated login by public key is supported by request. 

--FTPS (FTP over SSL)

--Both the FTPS Explicit and FTPS Implicit protocols are supported. 

--F13Passive ports 5000-5099 are randomly used for FTPS encrypted data transfers. Clients must be permitted to connect outbound on these ports.

 

See below my FTPCaller Transformer based on the above:

FTPCallerDoes it looks correct? Not sure why the password field was greyed out with the SFTP option selected.

Thanks.

Hi @fmesafejde

Since the supported protocols are SFTP and FTPS, you will need to modify the URL prefix to be sftp:// (for SFTP) or ftps:// or ftpes:// (for FTPS implicit or explicit protocol).

 

The password parameter is greyed out as you have selected ssh-agent/pageant (sftp only) as the authentication type. This mode authenticates a public key and thus does not use a password. To use a password, set Authentication Type parameter to Password.

 

As you are uploading files, you will also ensure the file name and extension (.csv) is specified in the URL as well.Example FTPCaller settings for uploading file using SFTP and password authentication
