How SFTP Pull to FTP routing works
Source
SFTP Pull
DocEvent connects to your SFTP server on a schedule and collects new files.
DocEvent Channel
routes · retries · logs
Destination
FTP Server
Files are pushed to any FTP server you configure.
1
File arrives via SFTP Pull
Scheduled outbound polling of any SFTP server over SSH — nothing to install on it. Host-key verification, filename pattern filtering, completed-file detection, then each collected file is deleted or moved to a processed folder.
2
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.
3
Delivered to FTP
Active and passive FTP supported. Username/password authentication. Configurable port and path.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a SFTP Pull → FTP channel.
- Bridge partner SFTP feeds into legacy systems that only accept FTP
- Collect from secure SFTP portals and republish internally over FTP
- Migrate from an SFTP provider to FTP infrastructure without touching the source
- Feed FTP-only applications from modern SFTP sources
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the SFTP Pull or FTP side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
