SFTP Connector
The Birst SFTP Connector lets you use the SSH File Transfer Protocol, known as Secure FTP, to access files on remote file systems.
The SFTP Connector supports non-public SFTP server connectivity. A public key and algorithm type are required for connecting to a non-public SFTP server.
Implementation and Usage Notes

Connector to extract data from these types of files:
- Comma delimited .csv
- Tab delimited .txt
