SFTP Spoke Configuring the Credential allias

[ClarkC]

I am trying to use the Push to FTP action from the Procurement File Transfer Framework

I am confused by the type of credential aliases needed in the inputs step.

What should the MID Connection Alias reference?  I have tried a basic auth for the Mid Server user and that did not work.

What should the FTP Connection Alias reference? An HTTP  sftp://servername:port/path  ? 

Anybody using this successfully?

Hello @ClarkC 

Yes SFTP server we are using for sending attachments over and here. 

So, rhe Mid Server Alias - you can just go to "Connections and Credentials" - create a Basic Auth type credentials - the username and password - should be the same one to your "mid server" - via which you login to your mid server. 

For the FTP connection Alias - 

Within the alias, add a new Connection.

Specify the Host Name in the format: ftp://servername:port/. For example, ftp://ftp.example.com:21/. Ensure that the port number corresponds to the FTP server's listening port (commonly 21 for FTP and 22 for SFTP). 

Informatica Documentation

Assign the appropriate Credentials that have the username and password required to authenticate with the FTP server. 

If above is not working - check the credentials are provided correctly or not and mid server you have selected is correct or not. 

For FTP - the other party should provide you credentials. 

Kindly mark my answer as helpful and accept solution if it helped you in anyway. This will help me be recognized for the efforts and also move this questions from unsolved to solved bucket.
