How to automate SFTP file drop with password

200 Views Asked by At

I am dropping off a file on a server on a weekly basis. The destination server can only authenticate via password, not public key. Is there a feature in filemaker that would allow me to authenticate via a password stored locally instead of via key authentication?

Nothing native, but a few suggestions on a workaround:

1 Use plugins

2 Use AppleScript from FileMaker to call curl (on a mac)

3 Use AppleScrip to call bash and use ftp

4 Use VBScript on Windows, with wget or curl for Windows

5 Use cmd to invoke ftp on Windows
