SFTP

With SFTP modules in Boost.space Integrator, you can manage your files, folders, and file permissions on a remote server.

To use SFTP modules, you must have an SFTP account on some hosting.

  1. Log in to your Boost.space Integrator account, add a SFTP module to your scenario, and click Create a connection.

  2. Optional: In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.

  3. In the Host field, enter the host address of the server you want to connect.

  4. In the Port field, enter the SFTP server port. It must be a number between 1 and 65535. The default value is 22.

  5. In the Auth type dropdown list, select the authorization method you want to use for connecting to the SFTP server.

    • In the User name field, enter the user name that you use to enter the server.

    • Only for the User name and password auth type: In the Password field, enter the password that you use to enter the server.

    • Only for the User name and key auth type: In the Private key field, upload the private key to use the client-side authorization.
