SSH & SFTP – control servers and file storage directly from your process
Many workflows end exactly where a file system begins: a report has to land on a server, a file has to be picked up, a command has to be executed. That is exactly where the linqi SSH connector reaches. Over an encrypted SSH connection, your processes run commands on servers, upload and download files, create folders and clean up – automatically and traceably.
The special part: it replaces manual FTP and server access with a fixed, documented process step. No password in someone’s head, no manual uploading, no “who last put that on the server?“ – linqi handles the data transfer reliably and assigns the results to your process run. This turns file exchange into part of your workflow instead of a manual side task.
File exchange becomes a process step
With the SSH connector, linqi enables your processes to work directly with servers: you run commands, upload or download files, list directories, create folders and delete files or entire directories. The connection is maintained centrally as a connection – with your credentials, but without manual access during operation. Every action is assigned to the process run and is available to the following steps. This closes the gap between your workflow and the systems where the files actually live – without media breaks and without manual transfers.
Frequently asked questions about SSH & SFTP
Which actions are available?
You can run commands, upload and download files, list directories, create folders and delete files or folders – each as its own process step.
How secure is the transfer?
The connection runs over SSH – i.e. encrypted. Credentials are maintained centrally as a connection in linqi and are not repeated inside the processes.
Can the result be used in the process?
Yes. The result of an action – such as a downloaded file or the return value of a command – is available to the following steps of your process.
What is it typically used for?
Typically reports and exports that belong on a server, incoming files that should be picked up and further processed, or server tasks that happen at a fixed point in the process.
