  1.             Create a New SFTP Configuration Object:
    • Go to the Domain Model of your Mendix project.
    • Create a new Entity called something like SFTPConnection (or similar).
    • Add attributes to this entity, such as:
      • Server (type: String) – the SFTP server's address.
      • Port (type: Integer) – default port is 22 for SFTP.
      • Username (type: String) – the username for authentication.
      • Password (type: String) – the password for authentication (ensure security).
      • Private Key (type: String) – if you use key-based authentication, you can store the private key here.
      • RemotePath (type: String) – path on the remote server.
  2. Configure SFTP Settings:
    • Within your Mendix application, you will configure the SFTPConfiguration object by providing details like the server, username, password/key, and remote directory.
  3. Setup the SFTP Session:
    • In the Java Actions or Microflows, you can create logic to connect to the SFTP server using the configuration stored in the SFTPConnection entity.
    • You can use the SFTP Connector module's built-in Java actions for operations such as:
      • Upload File to SFTP
      • Download File from SFTP
      • List Files in a directory on the SFTP server

3. Add Logic to Your Microflows:

  1. Create a Microflow for Uploading Files:
    • Create a Microflow to upload files to the SFTP server.
    • Use the relevant Java Action from the SFTP module, such as UploadFileToSFTP or DownloadFileFromSFTP.
    • You will need to pass the SFTPConfiguration object and the file to upload/download to these actions.
  2. Add Error Handling:
    • Ensure your Microflow includes error handling (e.g., try-catch for exceptions like connection issues).
  3. Testing:
    • Test the connection and file transfer to ensure it's working as expected.

 

After you are done with above steps : 

  • Retrieve the SFTPConnection (from database or system configuration).
  • Create a FileDocument (the file you want to upload).
  • Call Java Action (e.g., UploadFileToSFTP) with parameters like SFTPConnection and FileDocument.
