SFTP Configuration
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) allows reports to be delivered to a secure location outside of the R&A system. This is useful when sharing data with third-party solution providers or services. You may configure up to twenty five SFTP service profiles. Please review the SFTP Guide on the customer support portal [Oracle Hospitality OPERA Reporting and Analytics SFTP Guide (Doc ID 2903626.1)] for details on configuring SFTP.
