Agent File Adapter Protocol FTP, SFTP & FTPS

Agent File Adapter for consumers means Inbound Agent File Adapter. We use Inbound Agent File adapter for reading using the new event-driven mode with the consumer. We have an event-driven listener who is a camel consumer. We don’t need a scheduler. We add the real-time and event-driven feature to pick up immediately. To use the Agent file for consumers, we need to configure the Agent Control Board, and we need to create an Agent File adapter.

FTP Type (SFTP)

• FTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is a secure file transfer protocol. It runs over the SSH protocol. It supports the full security and authentication functionality of SSH.
• FTPS has pretty much-replaced legacy FTP as a file transfer protocol and is quickly replacing FTP/S. It provides all the functionality offered by these protocols, but more securely and more reliably, with easier configuration. There is basically no reason to use legacy protocols anymore.
• SFTP also protects against password sniffing and man-in-the-middle attacks. It protects the integrity of the data using encryption and cryptographic hash functions and authenticates both the server and the user.

Protocol FTP Adapter is used as a connector to transfer data from the FTP server to Salesforce and from Salesforce to the FTP server. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network.
