Protocol
Indicates whether to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol). If the protocol is FTP, it is possible to use the SSL Configuration setting to configure FTP over TLS. If the protocol is SFTP, then:
-
UsePASV and ServerListStyle settings are ignored.
-
FTP Port setting should ordinarily be set to 22.
-
You must supply a value for the Credentials setting.
-
If you supply values for the SFTPPublicKeyFile and SFTPPrivateKeyFile settings, the adapter attempts key pair authentication. It does this in conjunction with the username and password supplied via the Credentials setting, using the password in the Credentials as the passphrase for the private key. If you do not use the KeyFile settings, the adapter attempts only username/password authentication based on the Credentials setting.
This setting specifies whether to use FTP or SFTP. If it is left blank, then FTP is used, unless the SSL Configuration setting is !SFTP. In this case, SFTP is used irrespective of the Protocol setting.
