This document provides instructions on how to use the SFTP connector in Mule applications. It describes that SFTP uses SSH to securely transfer files between external resources and Mule applications. An example flow is shown that uses an SFTP inbound endpoint to receive a file, logs a message, and writes the file to the local file system using an outbound file endpoint.

2. Abstract
• The main motto of this PPT is how to use SFTP
in our applications.

3. Introduction:
The SFTP Connector implements a secure file
transport channel so that your Mule application can
exchange files with external resources. SFTP uses
the SSH security protocol to transfer messages. You
can implement the SFTP endpoint as an inbound
endpoint with a one-way exchange pattern, or as an
outbound endpoint configured for either a one-way
or request-response exchange pattern.
