# sFTP

Sftp manages jobs related to files transferred to ISM sFTP server. ISM provides bundled sFTP server. The users are managed through Admin/sFTP User menu. The users of this sFTP are not the system user but sFTP only user.

Once a file arrives at ISM sFTP server, sFTP server checks whether the file matches registered job trigger. If a matched job is found, the linked flow is executed.
