SFTP V2
The SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a network protocol based on Secure Shell (SSH) that enables secure file access, transfer and management over a reliable data stream. The version 2 client includes other configuration properties, key exchange algorithms, MAC algorithms and ciphers not available in version 1.
As part of the connector namespace updates introduced in March 2026, the SFTP V1 and SFTP V2 connectors are now available as SFTP V3 and SFTP V4 respectively for newly created projects. These updated versions align with the new namespace conventions introduced across the platform.
Existing accounts and projects will continue to display and use SFTP V1 and SFTP V2 to maintain backward compatibility. There is no impact on existing integrations, and no changes are required for currently configured accounts or projects.
For newly created projects, only the updated connector versions, SFTP V3 and SFTP V4, are available.
- Create separate accounts for the SFTP connector in workflows and flow services. Also, the names of the SFTP V1 account and SFTP V2 account must be unique.
- Public key authentication is not supported for the SFTP connector in deploy anywhere integrations.
