Back to the list of Connectors The SFTP connector enables Artemis to index content from an SFTP server into a knowledge base. During setup, you authenticate using an SFTP authentication profile, configure the server connection, specify the folders to synchronize, apply file filters, and validate the configuration before starting synchronization. The connector supports Basic and SSH Key authentication, configurable folder scope, file filtering, and scheduled synchronization.
