DataSource SFTP
The SFTP DataSource grants access to files and directories housed within an SFTP server. It proficiently handles file transfers using the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), showcasing the following key features:
- Reading files or generating directory contents upon request.
- Supporting common SFTP operations: directory creation, file copying, moving, renaming, and deletion.
- Enabling file locking functionality.
- Providing capabilities for file matching.
- Maintaining a design that aligns with the File DataSource and FTP DataSource.
