How HTTP Upload to SFTP routing works
HTTP Upload
Files arrive via HTTP POST to a dedicated DocEvent channel endpoint.
DocEvent Channel
SFTP Server
Files are pushed securely to an SFTP server over SSH.
1
File arrives via HTTP Upload
REST endpoint accepts multipart/form-data file uploads with optional authentication headers.

Channel routes it
DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
