  2. Select the SFTP connector from the Connector section or click the existing SFTP connection from the Connections panel.


  3. Click + Create New Object.
  4. Specify the Object Label to use for the source in Birst.
    Caution: 
    Do not use the same name as an existing saved object from this or any other connector. It must be unique within a Birst space.
