User Case: How to Connect and Transfer SFTP to SharePoint?

 

We need to programmatically move SFTP confidential data into a site library we create for our customers. How do we enable SharePoint to allow us to manipulate data in SharePoint sites from our on-premises infrastructure?

 

I have a scenario: How do I transfer files from an SFTP server to a SharePoint document library, just like the files will be uploaded to a folder every day?

The Best Tool to Connect and Transfer SFTP to SharePoint

By common sense, you can transfer SFTP files to SharePoint by downloading files from SFTP to your computer, and then uploading the files to a SharePoint account. These files may take up too much storage space on your computer, and the internet may be unstable during transfer.

However, if you try a professional third-party multiple cloud storage manager---MultCloud, you can easily transfer, sync, and backup files from SFTP to SharePoint once without worrying about Internet speed, complicated uploads, and downloads, or file size, because MultCloud helps you integrate and manage all your cloud drives in a single interface without switching accounts.

  • If you want, MultCloud can send you an email notification when the transfer task is complete.
  • If you want to automate regular SFTP to SharePoint backups, you can set up daily, weekly or monthly scheduled cloud file transfer tasks.
  • There are some other options for you to set up transfer tasks, for example: Delete all source files after transfer is complete.
  • You can access the "Task List" from the "Common Tools" menu to view and manage the detailed progress of your transfer tasks.

As a free user, you can only transfer 5GB of data per month. If you think the data traffic is not enough, you can subscribe to a premium account to get 100 GB or more data traffic. And, after subscribing, the transfer speed is greatly improved because you get 10 threads to transfer the data. Also, you can perform cloud transfers when ignoring or only including files with certain extensions via the "Filter" feature.

Option 2: Sync SFTP to SharePoint via Cloud Sync

Unlike the above method of transferring files from one cloud to another in only one way, the Cloud Sync feature can help you sync two cloud accounts, either one-way or two-way. You can even sync SFTP with multiple clouds at once. The sequence of operations is the same as for SFTP file transfer to SharePoint via Cloud Transfer.
