The File Transfer category acts as a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client that supports remote file operators in a process. Operators in the File Transfer category can be executed on either Orchestrator or agent touchpoints. The File Transfer category supports all commands that standard FTP supports, including:
No prerequisites are required for FTP-based operators using standard FTP and standard FTP servers. For SFTP transfers, use SSH2 and prearrange for the touchpoint to communicate with the SFTP server computer based on user name and password credentials.
Establish an SSH connection and set up the certificates with an SSH client, before using SFTP. CA Technologies delivers a test SSH client for Windows so that you can establish that initial connection. Most UNIX computers already have it. The advantage of SFTP is that it is secure. With SFTP, data goes through an encrypted tunnel and passwords are authenticated.
