SFTP Best Practices
If you are using a client-side or third-party SFTP droppoint to receive transactional logs, Kibo recommends following the below guidelines to maximize performance.- Ensuring access to the SFTP droppoint is the responsibility of the client or third party maintainer. Make sure that Kibo’s SFTP user has read and write permissions to the directory, which is required to deliver files.
- For example, in the command line this may look like
drw-rw-r--(which means the owner has read/write, the group has read/write, others are read-only)
- For example, in the command line this may look like
- Ensure files do not pile up over time → utilize /archive folders and periodic cleanup of historic data. Monitor the droppoint and clean up files that are no longer needed.
- If you need to retain the files, archive them to another folder once they’ve been processed.
- Ensure disk space usage is monitored and alerts the maintaining IT team in time to address low disk space situations before causing connection issues for Kibo.
