2.72:SFTP Export

From Grooper Wiki

LEGACY TECHNOLOGY DETECTED!!

Export operations changed dramatically in version 2021 with the addition of Export Behaviors. Please visit the Export (Activity) article for more up to date information in version 2021.

SFTP Export is a Legacy Export provider allowing users to export to SFTP directories during the Document Export activity.

This provider exports using the SFTP protocol. The SSH File Transfer Protocol (also Secure File Transfer Protocol, or SFTP) is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management over any reliable data stream. It's very similar to FTP protocol but was developed as an extension to Secure Shell protocol (SSH) to provide secure file transfers capabilities.

! SFTP Export is one of the depreciated Legacy Export providers as of version 2.72. Going forward, it is considered best practice to use a CMIS Export provider with the appropriate Connection Type. The CMIS Binding equivalent to SFTP Export is the "SFTP" Connection Type.


There are a few options under the Export Settings property:

  • File Export Settings This property allows you to control some of the format settings of the output files. For example, you can change the file type of the exported documents to PDF here.
  • Server Connection Your SFTP Server URL and associated properties are entered here.
  • Content Export Set your base export folder here.
  • File and Directory Naming Here, you can set your file and folder naming according to a Content Type (such as a Content Model).
  • Metadata Export You can export a metadata "buddy file" (including XML, CSV, and JSON files) using this property.
