Transfer files to HULFT Square via SFTP connection

Use SFTP services in HULFT Square to transfer files securely.

You can set a file event job so that after a file is uploaded to the SFTP server, processing is executed in HULFT Square.

This section explains how to use SFTP services to transfer files via the internet.

This tutorial uses the SFTP Service application. Before continuing this tutorial, install SFTP Service from App Square.

In addition, for the file upload destination, you will use the workspace Team A, which you created in Create a workspace to work together. Confirm in advance that the workspace has been created.

For details about the installation of applications, refer to App Square.

Note

To use SFTP, a separate contract is required.

It takes approximately one business day for your contract to become effective.
