I have on-prem files on SFTP server and I need to create dashboard in PBI Desktop in my own laptop. How do I connect to those files in the server?
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @aishahslmn
PBID doesn't have an SFTP connector so you'll need to get the files into a location that PBID can acces them.
Can you run a HTTP server on your SFTP server? You can then use a web connector in PBID.
You could write a Python script to get the files.
Otherwise you'll have to move the files off the SFTP server some other way.
