01 / THE WORK, MADE CLEAR

A reachable folder is the beginning.

SFTP transfers files through an SSH connection. Your business workflow still needs to establish how a file becomes ready, which location receives it and how processing starts. Document each responsibility before testing the transfer.

01
Access
Agree endpoint, authentication and host-identity verification requirements.
02
File readiness
Define naming, path and how incomplete files are distinguished.
03
Processing
Identify what consumes the delivered file and reports the business outcome.

02 / THE CONNECTION THAT MATTERS

Questions to resolve before testing.

Questions to resolve before testing.
Context	What matters	The handoff
Authentication	How are credentials or SSH keys managed?	Connection owner
Host identity	How is the server identity verified?	Infrastructure owner
Destination	Who consumes and retains the file?	Application owner

03 / BUILT AROUND YOUR WORK

Test the state between arrival and use.

A file can be present while still being written or while the consuming process is unavailable. Agree the readiness convention and duplicate-handling behavior with the receiving team. SFTP support and the available operating controls are confirmed against the File Exchange implementation scope.
