Using a Copy to SFTP Job Type

Use the Copy to SFTP job type to copy a file to a location on a Secure FTP server (the target). Using this job type , you can copy a file directly from an environment to an SFTP server without first downloading it to another server using EPM Automate or the REST API and then using an SFTP client to upload it to the SFTP server.

If the IP allowlist is enabled for the SFTP server, you must add the outbound IP address of the OCI region that hosts the Oracle Fusion Cloud EPM environments to the IP allowlist of the SFTP server. See Outbound IP Addresses of Cloud EPM Data Centers and Regions in the Operations Guide for the outbound IP addresses of OCI regions.

Note:

This job type supports SFTP server running on port 22 only.

As a prerequisite to using the Copy to SFTP job type, you need to define the SFTP server connection using EPM Connections. For more information, see Connecting Environments in Cloud EPM in Administering Planning.
