I am using 8.0.1,searching tells 8.1 has the feature but not 8.0.1

If this doesnot support SFTP then the server has to be enabled as FTP instead of SFTP.

Is this the solution or any other solution please let me know

Thank you

I received a automated message from the server which has the same port number along with the host name,userid,password

The remote server has SFTP service enabled on it,does FTP enterprise support server with SFTP service.

In the place of URI do I need to give the path of that specific file in FTP enterprise stage?
and in the columns do I need to manually enter the names of columns?

and I used the transfer protocol as SFTP but this is not asking me any password is that OK.


please let me know

sure I will make sure with my admin department. thanks

Coming to the format of the file the top row contains the names of the columns does the FTP stage reads the file in the same manner i.e take the first row as the column names and the rest of the records as data.

thanks, so the FTP stage(enterprise or plug in) can be used directly to get read the data and transform the data and then load it. something like FTP--->transformer------->DB which one do I need to use? Do I need to talk to the environment support about the permissions to that server? or something e...
