Copy to SFTP

Copies a file or a backup snapshot from the current cloud environment (the source) to the SFTP server (the target).

You can copy any file or snapshot available in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud. For example, if you export data to a file, the exported file is stored in the Outbox. You can then use this API to copy the file directly to an SFTP server where you have an account.

This API is version v2.

Note:

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