Step 1: Establish SSH Tunnel


You can establish an SSH tunnel using a command-line utility like plink (PuTTY Link) or ssh.

Using plink:

Download PuTTY/Plink: Download PuTTY and ensure plink is available in your system PATH.


Create a batch script to establish the SSH tunnel.

@echo off
plink.exe -ssh -N -L localport:sftp_host:sftp_port tunnel_username@tunnel_host -pw tunnel_password


Replace localport with an available port on your local machine (e.g., 2222).
Replace sftp_host and sftp_port with the SFTP server's address and port.
Replace tunnel_username, tunnel_host, and tunnel_password with your tunnel connection details.

 

Create a New Task and add the FTP/SFTP Action.

 

Configure FTP/SFTP Connection:

  • Host: localhost
  • Port: localport (the local port you specified in the plink script, e.g., 2222)
  • Username: Your SFTP username
  • Password: Your SFTP password

Then, use put file action for update the files
