I need to read the files from external SFTP server
Hi All,
I need help on this below requirement.
We have requirement to retrieve the files from SFTP location onto Pega server which is hosted on AWS and SFTP location is not any of the Pega provided repositories(S3, JFROG), and could not find any OOTB rules to retrieve those files.
and as part of the Pega documentation we can only push the files to external location but not retrieve.
Could you please anyone share the details if you have achieved this requirement.

@HARISH M Pega does not have an out-of-the-box (OOTB) mechanism to download a file from a remote SFTP server to the Pega directory. The Connect-FTP method is primarily used to upload files to a remote directory, not to download them. You might have to use custom functionality using JSCH or have the FTP server expose downloadable file links that Pega can use and access. For managing files in Pega Cloud File Storage, you can use the Repository API or configure a file listener to process your files. Please note that direct access to files using any method other than the Repository API is not supported.
