SFTP endpoint

Enter either a fully qualified name (recommended) or an IP address and a port number.

Port number 22 is standard for implicit SFTP.

The credentials used to log in to this endpoint.

When you click the link, you are prompted to select or import the user certificate you want to use for key authentication.

OpenPGP protects files being transferred through encryption and signing. OpenPGP should be configured only if this endpoint is part of a trading relationship.

Inbound

Verify Signed Payloads: Select to ensure that when a signed payload is received, the signature matches the payload that was sent.; When you select this check box, you are prompted to select the trading partner's signing certificate. This field is prefilled with the outbound encryption certificate as the same certificate is commonly used for both. See Selecting a certificate.
Accept Encrypted Payloads: Select to accept encrypted inbound payloads.; When you select this check box, you are prompted to select the trading partner's signing certificate. This field is prefilled with the outbound encryption certificate as the same certificate is commonly used for both. See Selecting a certificate.

Outbound

Sign

Select this check box to sign messages sent from this endpoint.

When you select Sign:

You are prompted to select your signing certificate. This field is prefilled with the inbound decryption certificate as the same certificate is commonly used for both. See Selecting a certificate.
Use the Signing Algorithm field to choose the algorithm you want to use to sign outbound messages.

Encrypt

Apply encryption to messages sent from this endpoint.

When you select Encrypt, you are prompted to select the trading partner's encryption certificate. This field is prefilled with the inbound signing certificate as the same certificate is commonly used for both. See Selecting a certificate.

Compress

Apply ZLIB compression to messages sent from this endpoint. Choose this option for large files to conserve bandwidth and improve efficiency and security.

Text Output (ASCII armor)

Encase encrypted messages in ASCII for ease of sending using standard messaging formats.

OpenPGP Algorithms

Hash Algorithm

Choose the signing method used when OpenPGP packaging (with signing) is requested from the following:

MD2
MD5
RIPE-MD-160
SHA-1
SHA-256
SHA-384

V3 Signature

Select this check box to sign messages with Version 3 signatures.

Encryption Algorithm

Choose the algorithm you want to use to encrypt messages. The remote host receiving the message must be able to decrypt the message using the algorithm you choose.

Compression Algorithm

Choose the algorithm you want to use to compress messages. The remote host receiving the message must be able to decrypt the message using the algorithm you choose.

Choose either ZIP or ZLIB.

Connection

Connection Timeout

The amount of time allowed for each read operation.

Valid rage is from 0 - n seconds

0 indicates no timeout. Default value is 150 seconds.

Retry Transfers

The number of retries permitted for failed outbound transfers and at what frequency to retry them.

Specify the following:

The number of retries, where the minimum value is 0 (no retries allowed) and maximum is 5.
A numeric value and either minutes or seconds to specify how much time should elapse between retries.

Resume failed transfers

Select this check box to retry failed transfers starting where they failed.
