SFTP File Transfer activity pack

Use the SFTP File Transfer activities to manage files and directories on an SFTP server and to move files from one SFTP server to another.

The SFTP activity pack includes scoped activities for common file transfer tasks and a ready-to-use workflow that includes these activities. Use the SFTP workflow to control which files are going to be moved, what conditions the files need to meet, the order in which the files are moved, and which overwrite options are executed.

Note: To use the SFTP File Transfer activities and workflow, you must request activation of the Orchestration - SFTP plugin.
