With the beta release of the export datasets functionality and the improved file export functionality, you may now be seeing two SFTP cards in the destinations catalog.
Improvements in the new SFTP destination card include:
Create a live outbound connection to your SFTP server to periodically export delimited data files from Adobe Experience Platform.
While Experience Platform supports data exports to SFTP servers, the recommended cloud storage locations to export data are Amazon S3 and SFTP.
Refer to the table below for information about the destination export type and frequency.
Item | Type | Notes |
---|---|---|
Export type | Profile-based | You are exporting all members of a segment, together with the desired schema fields (for example: email address, phone number, last name), as chosen in the select profile attributes screen of the destination activation workflow. |
Export frequency | Batch | Batch destinations export files to downstream platforms in increments of three, six, eight, twelve, or twenty-four hours. Read more about batch file-based destinations. |
To connect to the destination, you need the Manage Destinations access control permission. Read the access control overview or contact your product administrator to obtain the required permissions.
To connect to this destination, follow the steps described in the destination configuration tutorial. In the configure destination workflow, fill in the fields listed in the two sections below.
If you select the Basic authentication type to connect to your SFTP location:
Host: The address of your SFTP storage location;
Username: The username to log into your SFTP storage location;
Password: The password to log into your SFTP storage location.
Encryption key: Optionally, you can attach your RSA-formatted public key to add encryption to your exported files. View an example of a correctly formatted encryption key in the image below.
If you select the SFTP with SSH key authentication type to connect to your SFTP location:
Domain: Fill in the IP address or the domain name of your SFTP account
Port: The port used by your SFTP storage location;
Username: The username to log into your SFTP storage location;
SSH Key: The private SSH key used to log into your SFTP storage location. The private key must be formatted as a Base64-encoded string and must not be password-protected.
Encryption key: Optionally, you can attach your RSA-formatted public key to add encryption to your exported files. View an example of a correctly formatted encryption key in the image below.
After establishing the authentication connection to the SFTP location, provide the following information for the destination:
To activate data, you need the Manage Destinations, Activate Destinations, View Profiles, and View Segments access control permissions. Read the access control overview or contact your product administrator to obtain the required permissions.
See Activate audience data to batch profile export destinations for instructions on activating audience segments to this destination.
This destination supports dataset exports. For complete information on how to set up dataset exports, read the export datasets tutorial.
For SFTP destinations, Platform creates a .csv
file in the storage location that you provided. For more information about the files, see Activate audience data to batch profile export destinations in the segment activation tutorial.
Refer to IP address allow list for cloud storage destinations if you need to add Adobe IPs to an allow list.
