Setting Up Credentials for SFTP Actions

File-sharing actions can pass files securely to and from servers using a trusted integrations authenticated by a combination of methods, which may include password, public key, and PEM formatted private key pairs. This requires the setup of credentials created specifically for SFTP actions.

Note:

For information about rotating key pairs, see Rotating Key Pairs for Integration Credentials.
