Deliver SharePoint files securely over SFTP
DocEvent checks a SharePoint document library on a schedule and delivers each new file securely over SFTP with SSH key or password authentication. The team's workflow stays in Microsoft 365; the transfer is automated, retried and audited.

How SharePoint to SFTP routing works

SFTP Server
Files are pushed securely to an SFTP server over SSH.
1
File arrives via SharePoint
Scheduled polling of a Microsoft 365 SharePoint document library through the Microsoft Graph API. Connect your Microsoft account once from the console — the connection is reusable across endpoints and no secret is stored on the endpoint itself — then choose the site, library and folder. Filename pattern filtering and completed-file detection, then each collected file is deleted or moved to an archive 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 SFTP
SSH key or password authentication. Standard port 22. Configurable remote path.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a SharePoint → SFTP channel.
- Send documents from a SharePoint library to a partner SFTP server
- Give a bank or insurer portal the files your team saves in Microsoft 365
- Replace a manual SFTP upload step with a watched SharePoint folder
- Move regulated documents out of SharePoint over SSH
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the SharePoint or SFTP side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
