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.

Note

When configuring SFTP integrations, the system automatically pluralizes the last segment of the folder name using a standard pluralization library.

For example, if you specify SAP, the folder created will be SAPS. If you specify a path like bankfile/PDF, only the last segment is pluralized, resulting in bankfile/PDFs.
