Using "sftp -i [private key location] username"

A vendor is having us retrieve their info using this SFTP method: sftp -i /path/to/private/key username@vendor.net Any thought how to do this in SnapLogic? Do I need to do it as a script? Also...

I’m not given the specific path to connect too. How do I set up the path?

This is different than any other SFTP I’ve used.

I’m not sure if understand your question correctly. Without the specific path, it will be connect to the given user’s home directory.

You will have to set up an SSH Auth account with the username, private key and passphrase. Then use a Binary snap with that account to connect to the server, for example Directory Browser or File Reader where you provide the directory/file path in the snap settings.
