Introduction
The main features of SFTP SSH authenticated file transfer in JADE are:
- only authentication with SSH - e.g. authentication authentication can be carried out with an account name and either a password or a public key - can be carried out.
...
- SSH authentication requires that SFTP protocol is used.
- SSH authentication is required when a jump host transfer is carried out.
As with all file transfer protocols, any number of SFTP file transfer configurations in the form of ProtocolFragments can be pre-configured and selected as required.
Features of SSH Authenticated File Transfer
Authentication
SSH authentication can be carried out with an account name and either a password or a public/private key verification.
If public/private key verification is used, the SSH password parameter can be used to provide additional protection for the authentication file.
File Transfer Protocol
SSH Authentication requires that the SFTP protocol is used for the transfer operation.

The configuration described in this example is held as simple as possible. More complex file transfer scenarios will be described later.
Procedure Overview
The configuration procedure involves 3 steps:
- Configuration of the Fragments - i.e. the protocol, connection and authentication methods to be used for the source and target parts of the operation.
- Configuration of the Profile - i.e. the operation to be carried out (e.g. copy or move), the fragments to be used for the source and target parts of the transfer and any specific directories that are to be used.
- Note that the Profile can also be used to specify other elements such as any notifications to be made or preprocessing that is to be carried out. These will be described later on.
- Calling the Configuration and Profile from the command line, a batch file or via the JADE API.
Operations around SFTP file transfer

As children of the SFTPFragmentRef element, the parameters used for the configuration of these operations are described in detail on this the page. However, the use of these operations is described in the Pre- & Post-Processing article.
