SFTP

Upload files and data to an SFTP server.

Specific settings​

  • Host: IP address or hostname of the Modbus server machine.
  • Port: The port to use for connection (8080 by default).
  • Authentication:
    • Password: The username and password
    • Private key: The username and the path of the private key (PEM format). A passphrase can be used with the private key.
  • Remote folder: This is the directory where files will be stored.
  • Prefix: You can include a prefix to be added to the filename.
  • Suffix: You have the option to append a suffix to the filename, which appears just before the file extension.
tip

Prefix and suffix options can incorporate the internal variables @ConnectorName and @CurrentDate. For instance, when using @ConnectorName- as a prefix and -@CurrentDate as a suffix, a filename like example.file will result in an output format of <ConnectorName>-example-<CurrentDate>.file, where <CurrentDate> will be replaced with the current date and time in the yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss_SSS format.

OIBus Time values​

OIBus time values are converted into CSV format before being sent to the SFTP server.
