Edit a Source Connection

Update the connection or source-folder information for an existing FTP or SFTP source.

Edit a source connection when the source server address, port, credentials, source folder, or other connection information changes. After saving the changes, test the connection and check the source folder again.

Obtain the updated source information.

Ensure that no typographical errors are present in the IP address, port, credentials, source-folder path, or SFTP fingerprint.

  1. Sign in to the ECP Data Bridge local UI.
  2. Open the Sources page.
  3. Locate the source connection that you want to update.
  4. From the source actions, select Edit Source.
    The source configuration opens with the current values displayed.
  5. Update the required fields.
    Field Description

    Source Name

    Update the name used to identify the source. The name must be unique.

    Protocol

  6. A source can be saved even when the source server is unavailable. The connection can be tested later when the server becomes reachable.
  7. Save the changes.
    ECP Data Bridge updates the source information displayed on the Sources page.
  8. From the source actions, select Test Connection.
  9. Verify that the source status changes to Connected.

After the connection and folder checks succeed, you can initiate a file transfer from the updated source.
