Read File (SFTP)

Using this node you can read a file from a remote server over SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol). The file is downloaded securely over an encrypted SSH channel and passed as output to the next node in the workflow.

Read File (SFTP) node settings

Configuration​

  • SSH Service (required): Select an existing SSH Service configuration that holds the connection details (host, port, credentials) for the target SFTP server. Click New Configuration to create one on the fly if no suitable service exists yet.

  • Full Path (required): The full path to the file on the remote server, including the filename. For example: /reports/2024/invoice.pdf. You can embed workflow properties in the path to make it dynamic.

Notes​

  • The file is read using the secure SFTP protocol over an encrypted SSH channel.
  • The Full Path must include the filename — this node reads a single specific file, not a directory listing.
  • Use workflow properties in the path to dynamically resolve the file location at runtime based on the current iteration context.
