Configure the adapter for SFTP protocol
SFTP (SSH-File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol that provides a mechanism for file transfer over a reliable data stream. SFTP runs on a secure SSH channel on port 22 and encrypts all traffic using either user name and password authentication or public key authentication. Public key authentication uses a pair of computer generated keys, one public and one private.
Configure WebSphere Adapter for FTP to work with an SFTP server:
Procedure
- Install and configure your SFTP server. There are various SFTP servers to choose from. Install and configure your selected server using the provider-specific installation information.
- See either Outbound or Inbound Setting deployment and runtime properties to select Protocol as SFTP - Secure shell (SSH) File Transfer Protocol and specify the SFTP server connection and security information in the external service wizard.
Results
