# SFTP connector

> Connect Go Autonomous to an SFTP server for automated file-based data exchange.

## Overview

The SFTP connector lets Go Autonomous connect to an SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) server to exchange data files. This is commonly used for automated product catalog uploads, order exports, and other batch file transfers with systems that support SFTP.

## Set up an SFTP connector

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Connectors">
    Navigate to **Administration > Company Settings > Connectors**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a new connector">
    Click the add button and select **SFTP** from the connector type list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the connection">
    Enter the SFTP server details:

    * **Host** — the server hostname or IP address.
    * **Port** — the SFTP port (typically 22).
    * **Username** — the account to authenticate with.
    * **Password or key** — the credentials for the SFTP account.
    * **Remote path** — the directory on the server to read from or write to.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Save the connector. Go Autonomous will use these settings to connect to your SFTP server.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Common use cases

* **Product catalog sync** — automatically import updated product data from your ERP system.
* **Order file export** — push confirmed orders to a shared SFTP folder for downstream processing.
* **Reference data updates** — pull reference data files on a schedule.
