It can occur that somewhere else is either an FTP or an SFTP server. With that consideration, this microlearning will walk you through setting up and managing the eMagiz SFTP connection. We will cover the essentials for connecting to eMagiz SFTP, including key considerations and options available in the eMagiz store.

In some cases, there is no communication possible with a local file directory. Or there is a requirement from the external party to place the files somewhere else. Mainly the somewhere else is either an FTP or an SFTP. This microlearning will look at the eMagiz SFTP and learn how to set up the connection between eMagiz and the eMagiz SFTP. In the following microlearning, we will take a more general approach and look how to connect to other SFTP hosts via eMagiz.

Considerations when connecting to the eMagiz SFTP

  • Did you read the connect guide and made sure that all requirements are met?
  • Did you use the store component made available in the eMagiz store to set up the connection?
  • Did you verify that the indicator for temporary file name is set to false?

To connect to the eMagiz SFTP eMagiz offers multiple options in the eMagiz store. Depending on whether you want to read or write data you need to select the SFTP Inbound Connectivity or the SFTP Outbound Connectivity option in the store.

Within each of the options you can select between the default connection or the caching connection. Depending on the frequency with which you want to connect to the SFTP you need to select the default or the caching variant. In cases were you have a lot of interaction with the SFTP we advise to use the caching variant. In cases were there is infrequent interaction with the SFTP we advise to use the default variant.
