SFTP

Overview

SFTP integration refers to the process of connecting a system, application, or service to an external system using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) for securely transferring files between systems. SFTP ensures that data is transmitted over an encrypted connection, enhancing security during file transfers, which is crucial for sensitive information.

Key Components of SFTP Integration

• Secure Data Transfer: SFTP uses SSH (Secure Shell) to encrypt files during transmission, protecting them from being intercepted or accessed by unauthorized parties.
• Authentication: SFTP can use password-based or key-based authentication, ensuring only authorized users can access the file transfer system.
• File Automation: Many integrations automate file uploads, downloads, and management, allowing for scheduled or event-driven data exchanges.
• Interoperability: SFTP is widely supported across platforms, making it an ideal solution for integrating with external systems or services, such as cloud storage, enterprise applications, or third-party vendors.
• Compliance: SFTP integration is often used in industries with strict regulatory requirements for data privacy and security, such as healthcare, finance, and legal.
