SFTP Put

Use this activity to upload a file to the specified server. You can use process data as the content of the file to send to the remote server or you can send files from local disk storage. If using process data or locally stored files, you can place only one file on the remote server.

Settings

The Settings tab has the following fields:

Field Description

Use Process Data

Specifies to use process data as the content of the file to place on the remote server. Set Use Process Data to true to place only one file on the remote server.

Note: You must set this field to true to allow the SFTP Put activity to work in TIBCO Cloud Integration.
Overwrite Existing File Set Overwrite Existing File to true to overwrite any existing files with the same names on the SFTP server. If set to false, any attempt to write a file to the remote server with the same name as an existing file appends the data to the file.

  • Manually type the value in the mapper.

  • Map the value from the previous activity.

  • Select a function from the list of functions.

  • Map an app property to override the values.
