Hi Elad,

sFTP has never been supported by PI - only FTPS is supported by the file adapter.

You can use following workaround:

Storing a File by sFTP:

Use File Adapter to store file on local app server plus call a operating system script that will do the sFTP transfer from app server to target server. In case you have a unix based app server, sFTP is a built in functionality.

Of course, this approach does have some disadvantages but at least you will be able to use your PI to transfer by sFTP.

Retrieve a File by sFTP:

Works the same. Here, first call the OS Script that will retrieve the file from source Server to local App Server. Then use file Adapter to get the file form local app.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Hello Markus,

Thank you for your answer.

I know about these possibilities, right now I worked with winSCP and script.

I' m looking for butter way to do this.

Hi Elad,

other option would be to use the SAP demo adapter and write your own SFTP Adapter based on this.

This should not require to much knowledge but is more work than the script variant.

There might even be openSource adapters available on the internet as your problem is quite common.

best regards,

Hi Elad,

SFTP is not supported in any of the PI version. You can opt for Seeburger adapter for SFTP.
