SFTP/FTPS Integration
Connect SFTP/FTPS servers to renamed.to for secure, automated file processing. Process files as they are uploaded to your servers, maintaining enterprise security standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between SFTP and FTPS?
- SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) runs over the SSH protocol, while FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure) is FTP with added support for SSL/TLS. Our integration supports both.
- How frequently does it check for new files?
- The polling interval is typically between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on your subscription plan.
- Is my data secure?
- Yes, all data is transferred over encrypted channels (SSH or SSL/TLS). Your server credentials are encrypted at rest in our database.
Before You Connect
- An SFTP or FTPS server with a dedicated user account for the integration
- Server hostname, username, and password/SSH key
- renamed.to account with an active subscription
How It Works
renamed.to connects to your SFTP/FTPS server as a client
It periodically scans a designated "inbound" directory for new files
When a file is found, it is downloaded, processed, renamed, and then uploaded to a designated "processed" or "outbound" directory
