Creating SFTP connectors

This topic describes how to create SFTP connectors. Each connector provides the ability to connect with one remote SFTP server. You perform the following high-level tasks to configure an SFTP connector.

  1. Store the authentication credentials for the connector in Amazon Secrets Manager.

  2. Create the connector, specifying the secret ARN, the remote server's URL, the security policy containing the algorithms that will be supported by the connector, and other configuration settings.

  3. After you create the connector, you can test it to ensure that it can establish connections with the remote SFTP server.
