SFTP (password-based auth)
SFTP is a secure file transfer method used to reliably move data between servers. With password-based authentication, it’s a practical choice for teams that need dependable uploads and automated transfers without relying on interactive sessions. A typical setup supports structured directories and consistent transfer behavior, making it well-suited for operational data pipelines, file-based integrations, and back-office workflows.
Connecting SFTP (password-based auth) gives BOBs a secure “file door” into your partner or internal servers. BOBs can upload files when downstream steps require them, and continuously monitor remote directories to detect new arrivals so nothing gets missed.
Once files are detected, BOBs can kick off the next parts of your operation—like routing files to the right destination, triggering downstream processing, notifying the team, or syncing data into connected systems—turning batch file transfers into an autonomous, reliable pipeline.
