SFTP - Connect
SFTP - Connect
Establishes a secure connection to an SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) server that every other action of the group will use. It supports authentication by user and password, by private key or by both combined, and offers advanced timeout and keep-alive options for unstable networks.
Options
Host
Enter the address of the SFTP server, which can be a domain or an IP address. Example: sftp.servidor.com.
Port
Enter the connection port of the SFTP server. The default port for SFTP is 22.
User
Enter the user name for authenticating on the server. This field is optional in setups that use only a private key.
Password
Enter the password for accessing the server. This field is optional when authentication is done by private key.
Private Key path
Enter the full path of the private key file on the local computer, for SSH key authentication. This field is optional when authentication is done by user and password.
Passphrase
Enter the passphrase used to decrypt the private key, when it is protected. This field is optional and can only be used together with the Private Key path.
Connection timeout
Enter the maximum wait time, in milliseconds, for the connection to be established. This field is optional.
Keep alive interval
Enter the interval, in milliseconds, for sending keep-alive packets, keeping the connection active during idle periods. This field is optional.
Returns
This action has no direct returns. Its ID is used as a reference by the other SFTP actions that need an active connection.
Rules and Conditions
- The Host and Port fields are required.
- At least one authentication method must be given: user and password, or a private key.
- The Passphrase can only be used when the Private Key path is filled in too.
- This action must run before any other SFTP action in the flow.
- At the end of the flow, use SFTP: Disconnect to release the connection resources.
