Configuring Custom SFTP Accounts

Overview

You can create an account from a Designer or Manager. In Designer, when working on pipelines, every Snap that needs an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing account. The accounts can be created in or used from:

  • Your private project folder: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.

  • Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to Project Space.

  • The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.
