Configure an SFTP Repository in AIQ

Configure an SFTP Repository in AIQ
Configure an SFTP repository when AIQ needs to exchange files with a controlled external location. Use secure credentials, least-privilege access, and a clear folder structure for test assets and outputs.
Configuration checklist
Confirm the SFTP host, port, username, authentication method, and target folder.
Use SSH keys or secured credentials according to the customer security policy.
Grant the AIQ account only the folder permissions required by the workflow.
Separate input, output, archive, and error folders when the process requires them.
Document file naming, retention, and cleanup expectations.
Validation workflow
Test connectivity from the AIQ environment or node that will access the repository.
Upload and download a small non-sensitive test file.
Run the AIQ workflow that reads or writes the repository.
Review logs for authentication, permission, path, or timeout errors.
