How to Send report to SFTP server

[anmolmalviya05]

I have few SSRS reports and Power BI reports. My client asked me to send it to SFTP server each day, is there any way so that we can automate this process and How to send files to SFTP server.

I see the accepted solution describes how to send report subscription output to email via SMTP but does not address your question about getting the report uploaded to an SFTP server.

You have two options:

• Use the file share destination delivery extension to send report subscription output to folders.  Those folders would then have to be monitored via processes which would deliver the files to SFTP.  This can be done in many ways, but a common solution in this kind of use case would be to use SSIS packages to do that piece.  The packages could be set to poll the folders for new files to deliver via SQL Server Agent.
• A simpler option is to install a delivery extension like Deztec SFTP Destination which will automatically upload the report output to SFTP straight from SSRS.

Thanks,

You can send the report to the corresponding SMTP mailbox by the above method.
