Hi @dtink ,

Thanks for using Fabric Community.

As I understand you are looking for SFTP connector in Fabric Data Factory. Yes, this connector is supported in Fabric Data Factory

You can find this connector is Copy Data Activity.

Hi v-gchenna-msft,

 

Yes, we know that Fabric already supports SFTP as one of data copy sources. Initial question from dtink (and also mine, I was going to create a post with the same question) was to determine how can we use SSH keys stored on Azure Key Vault on SFTP connection

 

Currently there is documentation explaning how to do that on Azure Data Factory but no clue about how to do it on Fabric

Could you confirm if usage of SSH keys for SFTP is supported on Fabric?

 

 

Thanks

Hi @alfBI , @dtink  -

As per this: SFTP connector overview - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

only Basic authentication is supported for SFTP connector in Microsoft Fabric.

Appreciate is you can raise a feature request about adding authentication options for SFTP connector as ADF on our feedback channel. Which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further queries
