Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
SFTP (key-based auth)	`app`	`app`	This component uses the SFTP (key-based auth) app.
File	`file`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Data	`data`	`string`	Upload a string in UTF-8 format to the remote server.
Remote Path	`remotePath`	`string`	The path on the sftp server for store the data. e.g. `./uploads/my-file.txt`

Authentication#

SFTP (key-based auth) uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your SFTP (key-based auth) account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to SFTP (key-based auth) APIs in both code and no-code steps.

This app holds details for an SFTP server you want to interact with in Pipedream.

Below, enter the hostname of the server you'd like to connect to, your username, and the private key you'd like to use to connect.

This app only supports key pair authentication, not authentication via password. If you need to use a username / password to connect to a host, please use the SFTP (password-based auth) app, instead.
