SFTP Not Working

[Priyanka1997]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to import csv file using SFTP. It is perfectly working for the files size below 1MB & NOT working for the files size above 1MB. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

There's no way to compress files in-place over the FTP or SFTP protocol. All you can do is to download the file, compress locally and upload back. and also try the following method.

The following procedures can be used to change the maximum allowable size for an attachment uploaded to the system.

1.Log in to the instance with an admin account

2.Using the Navigator, browse to System Properties > Security.
The Security Properties page for the instance will appear. Locate the property on the page with the heading "Maximum file attachment size in megabytes". In this field, you can change the maximum allowed attachment size (in MB).

3.Save.
The change will be reflected immediately on the instance.
4.If the field is left blank (no value) the default limit (currently set at 1 GB) will be used as the maximum attachment file size.

Hi, I am not aware of any SFTP specific file limits for the platform, have you checked your generic import\export files properties to confirm that they have not been altered\customized. I would also check\confirm that it is not an issue with the source.
