Automate SFTP File Transfer

SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) is a specific protocol used to securely send data files from one software system to another. Files can be transferred manually over SFTP using tools like FileZilla or WinSCP, or file transfers can be automated to ensure reliability and speed.

Automated SFTP file transfer requires a software system configured to automatically detect files that should be transferred, connect to the target system, and send or receive data. Such software platforms are often part of a B2B (business-to-business) communication infrastructure that uses SFTP as the shared protocol for exchanging critical business documents like purchase orders, invoices, and shipment notices.
