SFTP is basically based on the SSH2 protocol, which uses a binary encoding of messages over a secure channel. SFTP Bulk contains the setup guide and reference information for the FTP source connector. SFTP Bulk fetches files from an FTP server matching a folder path and defines an optional file pattern to bulk ingest files into a single stream. It incrementally loads files into your destination from an FTP server based on when files were last added or modified.
