Automated SFTP file transfers are traditionally done through scripts, but there's a much easier way. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to automate SFTP file transfers without scripting a single line of code. Triggers are a comprehensive suite of automation-enabling tools presented in an intuitive graphical user interface so you don't have to work through a command line. Let's show you how it works.
Would you prefer to watch a video taking you through the steps of automating an SFTP transfer? You can play the video below. Otherwise, just continue reading. For a more comprehensive discussion on triggers, refer to the online documentation.
This tutorial will give you an overview of how triggers work. For this example, I'm going to create a trigger that would listen to a specific file movement in my machine's local file system. Before I create that trigger, let me first show you the trigger responsible for moving the file in question. So, as you can see from this trigger's action parameters, the file name to be moved is 'azureblobdownloadfile.
The trigger we're about to create should only respond to a file movement that involves this particular file and these particular source and destination directories.
Let's create that trigger now. To create the trigger, just go to the Triggers module and click the Add button. Give this trigger a name, say, 'automate sftp transfer of moved file'. After that, select the ' File Move ' Event type. This is the type of event this trigger is supposed to respond to. Note that there are several other event types to choose from.
Here's an example that let's a trigger run on a predefined schedule:. In a production environment, there will presumably be several file movements and we want this trigger to respond only to a specific file movement, so we need to specify a set of trigger conditions. I'm going to build a trigger condition that will allow this trigger to respond only to those File Move events where:. In the action parameters dialog, start by specifying the hostname or IP address of the remote SFTP server where you want to upload the file in question.
After that, specify the file path of the file you wish to upload. This variable already holds the complete file path of the file after it was moved to the local destination directory. Lastly, specify the target directory in the remote SFTP server. That's it. Would you like to try this yourself?
