Erik Bakker 51.1 4 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.

Erik Bakker 51.1 43 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.
