SFTP Report Transfer

Overview

The SFTP transfer for reports feature introduces a robust and secure mechanism for exporting reports to external servers using the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). This enhancement streamlines the delivery of scheduled reports, automating the process of dropping reports directly into customer-specified SFTP locations. This streamlined process eliminates the need for users to manually access the reporting Ushur platform, providing a convenient and efficient way to receive periodic reports at scheduled intervals. With this feature, users can easily configure SFTP folders for their reports, fostering a more seamless and automated reporting experience.
