## Description
Read data from sftp file server.
## Supported DataSource Info
In order to use the SftpFile connector, the following dependencies are required.
They can be downloaded via install-plugin.sh or from the Maven central repository.
| Datasource | Supported Versions | Dependency |
|------------|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| SftpFile | universal | [Download](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.seatunnel/connector-file-sftp) |
:::tip
If you use spark/flink, In order to use this connector, You must ensure your spark/flink cluster already integrated hadoop. The tested hadoop version is 2.x.
If you use SeaTunnel Engine, It automatically integrated the hadoop jar when you download and install SeaTunnel Engine. You can check the jar package under ${SEATUNNEL_HOME}/lib to confirm this.
We made some trade-offs in order to support more file types, so we used the HDFS protocol for internal access to Sftp and this connector need some hadoop dependencies.
It only supports hadoop version **2.9.X+**.
:::
## Data Type Mapping

### file_filter_pattern [string]
Filter pattern, which used for filtering files. If you only want to filter based on file names, simply write the regular file names; If you want to filter based on the file directory at the same time, the expression needs to start with `path`.
The pattern follows standard regular expressions. For details, please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression.
There are some examples.
If the `path` is `/data/seatunnel`, and the file structure example is:
```
/data/seatunnel/20241001/report.txt
/data/seatunnel/20241007/abch202410.csv
/data/seatunnel/20241002/abcg202410.csv
/data/seatunnel/20241005/old_data.csv
/data/seatunnel/20241012/logo.png
```
Matching Rules Example:
**Example 1**: *Match all .txt files*,Regular Expression:
```
.*.txt
```
The result of this example matching is:
```
/data/seatunnel/20241001/report.txt
```
**Example 2**: *Match all file starting with abc*,Regular Expression:
```
abc.*
```
The result of this example matching is:
```
/data/seatunnel/20241007/abch202410.csv
/data/seatunnel/20241002/abcg202410.csv
```
**Example 3**: *Match all files starting with abc in folder 20241007,And the fourth character is either h or g*, the Regular Expression:
```
/data/seatunnel/20241007/abc[h,g].*
```
The result of this example matching is:
```
/data/seatunnel/20241007/abch202410.csv
```
**Example 4**: *Match third level folders starting with 202410 and files ending with .csv*, the Regular Expression:
```
/data/seatunnel/202410\d*/.*.csv
```
The result of this example matching is:
```
/data/seatunnel/20241007/abch202410.csv
/data/seatunnel/20241002/abcg202410.csv
/data/seatunnel/20241005/old_data.csv
```
### file_format_type [string]
File type, supported as the following file types:
`text` `csv` `parquet` `orc` `json` `excel` `xml` `binary` `markdown`
If you assign file type to `json`, you should also assign schema option to tell connector how to parse data to the row you want.
For example:
upstream data is the following:
```json
{"code": 200, "data": "get success", "success": true}
```
You can also save multiple pieces of data in one file and split them by newline:
```json lines
{"code": 200, "data": "get success", "success": true}
{"code": 300, "data": "get failed", "success": false}
```
you should assign schema as the following:
```hocon
schema {
fields {
code = int
data = string
success = boolean
}
}
```
connector will generate data as the following:
| code | data | success |
|------|-------------|---------|
| 200 | get success | true |
If you assign file type to `parquet` `orc`, schema option not required, connector can find the schema of upstream data automatically.
If you assign file type to `text` `csv`, you can choose to specify the schema information or not.
For example, upstream data is the following:
```text
tyrantlucifer#26#male
```
If you do not assign data schema connector will treat the upstream data as the following:
| content |
|-----------------------|
| tyrantlucifer#26#male |
If you assign data schema, you should also assign the option `field_delimiter` too except CSV file type
you should assign schema and delimiter as the following:
```hocon
field_delimiter = "#"
schema {
fields {
name = string
age = int
gender = string
}
}
```
connector will generate data as the following:
| name | age | gender |
|---------------|-----|--------|
| tyrantlucifer | 26 | male |
If you assign file type to `binary`, SeaTunnel can synchronize files in any format,
such as compressed packages, pictures, etc. In short, any files can be synchronized to the target place.
Under this requirement, you need to ensure that the source and sink use `binary` format for file synchronization
at the same time.
If you assign file type to `markdown`, SeaTunnel can parse markdown files and extract structured data.
The markdown parser extracts various elements including headings, paragraphs, lists, code blocks, tables, and more.
Each element is converted to a row with the following schema:
- `element_id`: Unique identifier for the element
- `element_type`: Type of the element (Heading, Paragraph, ListItem, etc.)
- `heading_level`: Level of heading (1-6, null for non-heading elements)
- `text`: Text content of the element
- `page_number`: Page number (default: 1)
- `position_index`: Position index within the document
- `parent_id`: ID of the parent element
- `child_ids`: Comma-separated list of child element IDs
When `markdown_rag_metadata_enabled` is set to `true`, SeaTunnel appends the following RAG metadata fields after `child_ids`:
- `source_uri`: Source file path or URI
- `document_id`: Stable document identifier derived from `source_uri`
- `chunk_id`: Stable chunk identifier derived from document identity, chunk order, and content hash
- `chunk_index`: One-based chunk order in the parsed document
- `content_hash`: SHA-256 hash of the emitted `text` value
The option defaults to `false`, so the original Markdown schema is unchanged unless you enable it.
Note: Markdown format only supports reading, not writing.
### compress_codec [string]
The compress codec of files and the details that supported as the following shown:
- txt: `lzo` `none`
- json: `lzo` `none`
- csv: `lzo` `none`
- orc/parquet:
automatically recognizes the compression type, no additional settings required.
### archive_compress_codec [string]
The compress codec of archive files and the details that supported as the following shown:
| archive_compress_codec | file_format | archive_compress_suffix |
|--------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
| ZIP | txt,json,excel,xml | .zip |
| TAR | txt,json,excel,xml | .tar |
| TAR_GZ | txt,json,excel,xml | .tar.gz |
| GZ | txt,json,excel,xml | .gz |
| NONE | all | .* |
Note: gz compressed excel file needs to compress the original file or specify the file suffix, such as e2e.xls ->e2e_test.xls.gz
### encoding [string]
Only used when file_format_type is json,text,csv,xml.
The encoding of the file to read. This param will be parsed by `Charset.forName(encoding)`.
### binary_chunk_size [int]
Only used when file_format_type is binary.
The chunk size (in bytes) for reading binary files. Default is 1024 bytes. Larger values may improve performance for large files but use more memory.
### binary_complete_file_mode [boolean]
Only used when file_format_type is binary.
Whether to read the complete file as a single chunk instead of splitting into chunks. When enabled, the entire file content will be read into memory at once. Default is false.
### discovery_mode [string]
File discovery mode. Supported values: `once` (default), `continuous`.
- `once`: enumerate current files once and finish (bounded).
- `continuous`: keep scanning the path and processing new/changed files at runtime (unbounded).
In the current implementation, `discovery_mode=continuous` requires `sync_mode=update` (binary only) to avoid repeated transfers.
### scan_interval [string]
Only used when `discovery_mode=continuous`. Scan interval for periodic discovery; value must be greater than `0`. Recommended shorthand format `10S`, `30S` (case-insensitive, e.g. `10s`); ISO-8601 format `PT10S`, `PT30S` is also supported. Default is `10S`.
### start_mode [string]
Only used when `discovery_mode=continuous`. Supported values: `earliest` (default), `latest`.
- `earliest`: read existing files on startup.
- `latest`: only process files modified after the job starts.
### sync_mode [string]
File sync mode. Supported values: `full` (default), `update`.
When `update`, the source compares files between source/target and only reads new/changed files (currently only supports `file_format_type=binary`).
**Performance considerations**
- Update mode triggers an extra `getFileStatus` call on the target for each source file.
- For remote file systems (FTP/SFTP), this adds per-file network overhead. It is not recommended for massive small-file scenarios.
**Requirements / limitations**
- `target_path` should typically align with sink `path` (same filesystem and same relative path layout).
- When `update_strategy=distcp`, correctness depends on source/target clock synchronization.
- When `compare_mode=checksum`, filesystem checksum support is required. If checksum is unavailable, SeaTunnel falls back to content comparison (more expensive) and logs a warning.
Example:
```hocon
sync_mode = "update"
file_format_type = "binary"
target_path = "/path/to/your/sink/path"
update_strategy = "distcp"
compare_mode = "len_mtime"
```
### target_path [string]
Only used when `sync_mode=update`. Target base path used for comparison (it should usually be the same as sink `path`).
### target_hadoop_conf [map]
Only used when `sync_mode=update`. Extra Hadoop configuration for target filesystem. You can set `fs.defaultFS` in this map to override target defaultFS.
### update_strategy [string]
Only used when `sync_mode=update`. Supported values: `distcp` (default), `strict`.
### compare_mode [string]
Only used when `sync_mode=update`. Supported values: `len_mtime` (default), `checksum` (only valid when `update_strategy=strict`).
### quote_char [string]
A single character that encloses CSV fields, allowing fields with commas, line breaks, or quotes to be read correctly.
### escape_char [string]
A single character that allows the quote or other special characters to appear inside a CSV field without ending the field.
### recursive_file_scan [boolean]
Whether to scan subdirectories recursively.
If `false`, subdirectories will be ignored.
### sort_files_by_modification_time [boolean]
Whether to sort files by modification time in descending order. Default is `false`.
When enabled, files will be sorted by their modification time (newest first). This is useful when:
- Reading files with evolving schemas and you want schema inference to use the latest file
- You need to process files in chronological order
### schema [config]
#### fields [Config]
The schema of upstream data. For more details, please refer to [Schema Feature](../../introduction/concepts/schema-feature.md).
#### metadata_table_id [string]
The table identifier in the metadata service to fetch table schema. For Gravitino, the format should be `{catalog}.{database}.{table}`, such as `mysql-catalog.test_db.users`.
When specified, the connector will fetch table schema from the external metadata service instead of using manual `columns` definition.
> When using Gravitino as the metadata source, the column types from Gravitino will be automatically converted to SeaTunnel data types. For detailed type mapping information, please refer to [Gravitino Type Mapping](../../introduction/concepts/gravitino-type-mapping.md).
For more information, please refer to [Metadata SPI](../../introduction/concepts/metadata-spi.md).
## How to Create a Sftp Data Synchronization Jobs
The following example demonstrates how to create a data synchronization job that reads data from sftp and prints it on the local client:
```bash
# Set the basic configuration of the task to be performed
env {
parallelism = 1
job.mode = "BATCH"
}
# Create a source to connect to sftp
source {
SftpFile {
host = "sftp"
port = 22
user = seatunnel
password = pass
path = "tmp/seatunnel/read/json"
file_format_type = "json"
plugin_output = "sftp"
schema = {
fields {
c_map = "map<string, string>"
c_array = "array<int>"
c_string = string
c_boolean = boolean
c_tinyint = tinyint
c_smallint = smallint
c_int = int
c_bigint = bigint
c_float = float
c_double = double
c_bytes = bytes
c_date = date
c_decimal = "decimal(38, 18)"
c_timestamp = timestamp
c_row = {
C_MAP = "map<string, string>"
C_ARRAY = "array<int>"
C_STRING = string
C_BOOLEAN = boolean
C_TINYINT = tinyint
C_SMALLINT = smallint
C_INT = int
C_BIGINT = bigint
C_FLOAT = float
C_DOUBLE = double
C_BYTES = bytes
C_DATE = date
C_DECIMAL = "decimal(38, 18)"
C_TIMESTAMP = timestamp
}
}
}
}
}
# Console printing of the read sftp data
sink {
Console {
parallelism = 1
}
}
```
### Multiple Table
```hocon
SftpFile {
tables_configs = [
{
schema {
table = "student"
fields {
name = string
age = int
}
}
path = "/tmp/seatunnel/sink/text"
host = "192.168.31.48"
port = 21
user = tyrantlucifer
password = tianchao
file_format_type = "parquet"
},
{
schema {
table = "teacher"
fields {
name = string
age = int
}
}
path = "/tmp/seatunnel/sink/text"
host = "192.168.31.48"
port = 21
user = tyrantlucifer
password = tianchao
file_format_type = "parquet"
}
]
}
```
### Filter File
```hocon
env {
parallelism = 1
job.mode = "BATCH"
}
source {
SftpFile {
host = "sftp"
port = 22
user = seatunnel
password = pass
path = "tmp/seatunnel/read/json"
file_format_type = "json"
plugin_output = "sftp"
// file example abcD2024.csv
file_filter_pattern = "abc[DX]*.*"
}
}
sink {
Console {
}
}
```
### Incremental Sync (sync_mode=update, binary)
`sync_mode=update` compares files between source and `target_path`, then only reads new/changed files.
In most cases, `target_path` should be aligned with sink `path` (same filesystem and same relative paths).
```hocon
env {
parallelism = 1
job.mode = "BATCH"
}
source {
SftpFile {
host = "sftp"
port = 22
user = seatunnel
password = pass
path = "tmp/seatunnel/update/src"
file_format_type = "binary"
sync_mode = "update"
target_path = "tmp/seatunnel/update/dst"
update_strategy = "distcp"
compare_mode = "len_mtime"
}
}
sink {
SftpFile {
host = "sftp"
port = 22
user = seatunnel
password = pass
path = "tmp/seatunnel/update/dst"
tmp_path = "tmp/seatunnel/update/tmp"
file_format_type = "binary"
}
}
```
### Continuous Discovery (discovery_mode=continuous)
`discovery_mode=continuous` keeps the job running and periodically scans the path for new/changed files (long-running job, recommended to run with `job.mode="STREAMING"`).
**Note:** `discovery_mode=continuous` currently requires `sync_mode="update"` (binary-only) to avoid repeated transfers without keeping an unbounded "seen" state. `target_path` should align with the sink `path` on the same filesystem.
```hocon
env {
parallelism = 1
job.mode = "STREAMING"
}
source {
SftpFile {
host = "sftp"
port = 22
user = seatunnel
password = pass
path = "tmp/seatunnel/watch/src"
file_format_type = "binary"
discovery_mode = "continuous"
scan_interval = "10S"
start_mode = "latest"
sync_mode = "update"
target_path = "tmp/seatunnel/watch/dst"
update_strategy = "distcp"
compare_mode = "len_mtime"
}
}
sink {
SftpFile {
host = "sftp"
port = 22
user = seatunnel
password = pass
path = "tmp/seatunnel/watch/dst"
tmp_path = "tmp/seatunnel/watch/tmp"
file_format_type = "binary"
}
}
```
