SFTP Reader
Introduction
Our SFTP reader task allows you to connect to your SFTP servers based on the selected connection and fetch the required file. After you complete the configuration for the SFTP reader task, a fixed set of data-slot gets generated for further use in the automation.
Data slots of the SFTP reader task are as below:
