SFTP Overview

Use our SFTP to send and receive flat files using a SSH key or standard authentication.

Overview

Coupa primarily exchanges files with customers via the SFTP protocol. We support both username/password or SSH key authentication. SFTP is preferable to FTP as both the control and data channels are encrypted.

Note

Coupa supports RSA 2048 bit key for SSH authentication.
