The Data Connector for SFTP enables you to import files stored on your SFTP server to Treasure Data.
For sample workflows of importing files from your STFP server, view Treasure Boxes.
Basic knowledge of Treasure Data
Before using this connector, determine valid protocols for your environment.
If you intend to SFTP, you can use this Data Connector for SFTP.
If FTP/FTPS, try connect with FTP Data Connector.
If you are using a firewall, check your accepted IP range/port. Server administrators sometimes change the default port number from TCP/22 for security reasons.
Requires that your private key has an OpenSSH 7.8 format.
Requires that the OpenSSH format private key was generated using the '-m PEM' option.

The default format of the private key after OpenSSH.
After installation and configuration, review the job log. Warning and errors provide information about the success of your import. For example, you can identify the source file names associated with import errors.
You can use TD Console to create your data connector.
When you configure a data connection, you provide authentication to access the integration. In Treasure Data, you configure the authentication and then specify the source information.
Open TD Console.
Navigate to Integrations Hub > Catalog.
Search and select SFTP.
Select Create
The following dialog opens.
