    If you have Fabric,  is to use Data Factory and create a copy activity.  Other than PowerAutomate and the Data Factory, there are third party vendors that provide data transfer between different cloud storages.

Hi Rnaval,
As of now there is not any native connector/feature available to connect directly to SFTP.

You can try third party connector if your organization allows.
one of provider https://www.cdata.com/kb/tech/sftp-powerbi-gateway.rst

Apart from this you can have a look at the below post for the same, it has some work arounds.
