2.6 User Communication Profiles

2.6.1 Setting up an outbound SFTP Communication

If a User is listening on an SFTP server and we need to push files to them, these steps would help configuring the outbound or MFT initiated communication profile:

• Select Protocol from the dropdown list -> SFTP

• Give a Profile Name

• Type -> Select MFT Initiated radio button

• Enter the values for the following fields:

  • Remote Host

  • Remote port (One could automatically retrieve the known host key of the remote host by clicking on the gear icon next to Remote Port. )

  • Remote User Id

  • Auth Type

    • If Auth Type is Key or Password and Key, then a link to the public key of the server is given next to the Auth Type so one could send it to the Customer.

  • Use Source File Name

  • Remote File Name if "User Source File Name" is not checked

  • Remote Path

  • Use temp filename if it is required to use a temporary suffix before the file transfer is complete
