Getting Started
Host: sftp.alliplatform.com
Username: Should be a username created by the dev team given to you or in 1password
Password: Should be a password created by the dev team given to you or in 1password
Directory: usually /writeable , but if your sftp user includes multiple folders, just make sure it goes into the correct folder.
Filename: When configuring the filename, you can use regex to dynamically match the file names. If your regex matches more than one file name, then it will process all the matches.
Port: 22
Required Authorization
Authorization is configured in the Additional Configuration Needed section outlined above and should be requested from the (S)FTP owner or platform.
Limitations
Once a file has been processed, it must be manually renamed to be processed again.
Any datasource with the credentials that have access to the SFTP can process any of the files in the SFTP which will block any other datasource from processing the same file.
If the configured user does not have write access to the folder in the (S)FTP location, it will not be able to mark the files as processed and will pull all matching files each run. It is strongly suggested to request write access when getting access to the (S)FTP location.
Define your Data
You will need to manually define your dimensions and metrics during setup.
