This page provides information about downstream integration options for SFTP connectors. To perform downstream integration with Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) connectors, consider the following options:
This page provides information about how to integrate upstream using Native and Standard - Cloud Storage or SFTP Connector options.
Click Add Instance.
The system displays the Create Instance page.
In Instance Type, select the preferred instance type.
The system displays additional fields depending on the instance type.
Click Save.
The system auto-populates values in the fields in the Instance Credentials section.
To create an instance that you want to associate with an SFTP destination connector:
In Allow-List Source IP Addresses, add the comma-separated IP addresses that can access the SFTP location.
You can add a maximum of 10 IP addresses. By default, CDP does not provide access to the SFTP location.
The following are the criteria to allowlist IP addresses:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255, 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255xx.yyy.0.0/22.For more information on allowlisting IP addresses, see Allowlisting IP addresses.
Click Save.
The system creates the instance and auto-populates values in the following fields:
The password generated at the time of provisioning is displayed once and is not visible after you navigate away from this page or reload your screen. To reset your password, click Re-generate Credentials.
| Step | Task |
|---|---|
| 1 | Create a new SFTP connector |
| 2 | Verify that the standard connector in input connectors |
| 3 | Update the parameters to an existing connector |
To add a new SFTP connector, send a request to Support or your customer value manager (CVM), and provide the following information:
You can use a key-based authentication instead of a password-based authentication by providing Customer Data Platform (CDP) with a private .pem SSH key. The keys must not have passphrases.
Click Integrations > Output Connectors.
Professional Service or Acquia Support saves the output connector in either the Published or Ready state.
To view the connector, select it from the list and use it for further processing.
You can change the following parameters by sending a request to Support. The changes apply to all files that are exported to that connector going forward.
| Parameter | Values | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename.date.format | Date format | YYYY-MM-DD | Date format that is appended to the end of the file name. |
| date.column.date.format | Date format Default: epoch timestamp | YYYY-MM-DD | Datetime format that is used when the output columns are dates. For example, first transaction date. |
| date.column.date.format.timezone | Time zones Default: UTC | – | Timezone that is used when the output columns are dates. For example, first transaction date. |
| pgp.public.key | PGP public key Default: none | – | Public encryption key if the output file should be encrypted. |
| exclude.execution.id | true or false Default: false | – | This determines whether the executionID column is included at the end of the output CSV file. |
| output.file.extension | File extension Default: csv | csv, tsv, txt, or NO_EXTENSION | File extension |
| sftp.delimiter | Comma, pipe, tab, etc. Default: comma | – | The delimiter to use to separate fields within a row. Use a single ASCII character to delimit data. |
To implement SFTP native integration, Customer Data Platform (CDP) provides up to 20 connectors along with automatic user account generation.
