SFTP tab

Use settings on this tab to set SFTP properties.

Option Description
Site URL Enter the URL of the SFTP site in the following form: [sftp://]host[:port][/path]. In particular, you can enter IP address or NetBIOS name of the required machine.

Examples: sftp://mycompany.com:8070, 197.168.0.163, MainSFTPserver:8080.
Prefix path with dot This check box allows you to set up the configuration depending on a particular site behavior.
  1. When this option is turned ON, the [/path] section of the Site URL is prefixed with the dot (’.’, a current directory symbol) in the remote path for file downloading. For example:
    Site URL Remote path
    "site/path" "./path"
    "site/" "."
    "site" "."
  2. When this option is turned OFF, then the [/path] section of the Site URL is sent as it is. For example:
    Site URL Remote path
    "site/path" "path"
    "site/" ""
    "site" ""
    "site/./path" "./path"
    "site/." "."
    "site//path" "/path"
By default, this option is turned ON. If the site requires an absolute path to be included in the remote path and you are going to capture files from a subdirectory; for example, Mysite/Sub1, then it is recommended to turn this option OFF and to use an additional slash in the Site URL, for example, Mysite//Sub1.
Login Enter the account user name that will be used to connect to the SFTP server.
Note: The component does not allow user names containing spaces, although it is possible to create such a user name on the SFTP site.
Password Enter the password for the user name that will be used to connect to the SFTP server.
Test connection Click this button to check connection with the defined SFTP.
