Data from SFTP installed on UNIX box

[punitpopli]

Hi All,

I am having a requirement in which have to install SFTP on a UNIX (Prod server) and have to pull the data from this SFTP into qlikview.

Concerns on below points :

• How to install SFTP on UNIX system?
• Configure/Map the SFTP to a shared drive?
• Read the data from SFTP (mapped) into qlkview.

Does anyone had work or has experience on similar implementation?

Thanks,

Punit

There are lots of tutorials on the internet that can show you how to install and configure an sftp server on a unix system. Have a google

The easiest way to get data from an sftp server so qlikview can read it is to use another tool to do the sftp part. Curl and wget are tools that can be used from the command line so you can schedule this.

Alternatively you can try to install and configure a samba server on the unix server to share a folder using the smb protocol. That way you can access it like any other windows share using an unc path. Google for samba for more information.
