Body Parameters :
By configuring the provided parameters in the body, users gain seamless access to SFTP servers, enabling them to effortlessly perform essential file management operations, including reading, writing, and deleting files.
- “hostname”: This is the hostname or IP address of the SFTP server to which you want to connect.
- “username”: The username used for authentication when connecting to the SFTP server.
- “auth_type”: The authentication type to be used when connecting. In this case, it is set to “password”, indicating that password-based authentication will be used.
- “password”: The password associated with the username for password-based authentication. Please note that using passwords for authentication may not be as secure as using public-private key pairs (pem_key) for authentication.
- “port”: The port number on which the SFTP server is listening. The default port for SFTP is 22, which is commonly used for SSH connections.
- “pem_key”: This field is used for public-private key-based authentication. It should contain the contents of the private key (PEM format) if you choose to use key-based authentication instead of password-based authentication.
- “dataset”: This is the file content you want to transfer to the SFTP server. It can be a string containing the file content or binary data.
- “file_to_path”: The path on the SFTP server where you want to place the file. This specifies the destination path for the file transfer.
- “mode”: The mode in which the file should be transferred. possible modes could include “r” for reading (downloading), “d” for deleting files, and “w” for writing.
- “passphrase”: If the private key (pem_key) used for authentication is encrypted with a passphrase, you can provide it here.
