SFTP Server
SFTP protocol is a computing network protocol for accessing and managing files on remote file systems, similar to FTP. SFTP encrypt commands and data both, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted in the clear over a network. The advantages of having SFTP is that it allows secure transmission of data using Fingerprint authentication.
Important:The destination has to be enabled in CMC on the Adaptive Job Server. Contact your administrator to enable FTP/SFTP in CMC.
