FTP / SFTP

Connection Settings

Provide FTP connection details on FTP Connection Settings page. You will have the following options in the connection details block:

Source Name - A unique name for this source.
Type - Select FTP or SFTP.
Host - The IP address or the DNS for your FTP location.
Port - Port at which Hevo can connect with your FTP/SFTP Server.
User - User to login into the FTP/SFTP server.
Password - Password to be used to login into the FTP/SFTP server. The password is optional for SFTP type connections. However, in that case, you will have to add our public key displayed on the UI to the .ssh/authorized_keys file on your SFTP Server.
Prefix - Path Prefix for the data directory. By default, the files are listed from the root of the directory.
File Format - Choose a file format. Hevo currently supports JSON and CSV formats. Let us know if you need support for a different format.
Files GZipped - Select this option if the files in your FTP location are GZipped.
Create Schema from folders - Select this option when your prefix path has subdirectories containing files in different formats. Hevo, in that case, will read each of the subdirectories as a separate event type. Please note, that any files lying at the prefix path(and not in any of the subdirectories) will be ignored.
