            Set Up an SFTP Target Connection

            Create an SFTP connection in Data 360 using your own SFTP server that’s not provided or used by Marketing Cloud Engagement.

            System admin profile OR

            Data Cloud Architect permission set
            1. In Data 360, select Data Cloud Setup.
            2. Under External Integrations, select Other Connectors.
            3. Click New, and click Target.
            4. Select Secure File Transfer (SFTP), and click Next.
            5. Enter a connection name, connection API name, and enter the authentication details.
              Field Description
              Authentication Method Select SSH Private Key or SSH Private Key & Password.
              Username The SFTP account used to authenticate the connection.
              Password The password to authenticate the user.
              SSH Private Key To secure access, create an SSH public and private key. The public key is used on the SFTP server to encrypt the data before sending it to Data Cloud. The private key is entered in your SFTP connection details and Data Cloud uses it to decrypt your data.
              Passphrase (optional) The passphrase to protect your private key.
              Host Name The SFTP server’s name or address.
              Port: 22 (default) The port that the SFTP server is running on.
              PGP Encryption (optional) The public key is in RSA format. PGP encryption is supported for CSV and JSON file formats, but not Parquet.
              Parent Directory The base directory where your activation target child folder resides. The directory you select must have Write permission. Also, file rename permission is required for activated files on the SFTP server.
            6. To review your configuration, click Test Connection.
            7. Click Save.

            After the connector details are accepted, the connection is created and ready to use in activation targets. Change the SFTP credentials and encryption keys periodically as per your security policy.

            SSH keys consist of a Public Key and a Private Key (with an optional passphrase). SSH key pair generation can be done with multiple SSH key generator utilities. Use an SSH key generator utility such as PuTTY to generate the SSH key pair. The SFTP connector supports RSA-based keys up to 4096-bit encryption. For example, the command line entered in a terminal to create the key-pair using PuTTY is <ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa>.
