Connection Settings

This section contains the information that this connector uses to connect and interact with the application. Each application type requires different information to create and maintain a connection. The fields displayed in Connection Settings depend on your File Transport and Authentication Type selections. The following file transport methods are available:

  • SFTP

  • FTPS

  • SCP

  • AWS S3

  1. In File Transport, select SFTP to access the file.

  2. Enter the Host name where the file is located.

  3. Enter the Port number to use to establish a connection.

  4. For Authentication Type, select Basic or Public Key.

    5. SFTP connection settings with Basic authentication

    1. Select Basic as the authentication type.

    2. Enter the Username to use during the file transfer.

    3. Enter the Password for the user to use during the file transfer.

    SFTP connection settings with Public Key authentication

    1. Select Public Key as the authentication type.

    2. Enter the Username to use during the file transfer.

    3. Enter the SSH Private Key content to use to establish a connection. Paste the full private key in PEM or OpenSSH format. Do not enter a file path.

    4. (Optional) Enter the SSH Private Key Passphrase for the private key.

  5. Select Save.

  1. In File Transport, select FTPS to access the file.

    5. (Optional) Enter the FTPS Client Certificate Passphrase for the client certificate.

    Note
    The connector uses a hybrid model: the client certificate authenticates the TLS layer, and Username and Password authenticate the FTP protocol layer. Both are always required.
