Scheduled SFTP export jobs
+An export job generates a file from selected Xorosoft data and delivers it to a destination SFTP server on a recurring schedule.
Benefit: partners and downstream systems receive data on time without a manual export step.
Example: a daily order export delivers automatically to a partner's SFTP server every morning.
- Recurring export schedule
- Data selection rules
- Automatic delivery
Scheduled SFTP import jobs
+An import job checks a source SFTP location on schedule and loads any new file it finds into Xorosoft.
Benefit: inbound feeds load automatically without someone checking a folder manually.
Example: a partner's inventory feed uploads to a shared SFTP folder and loads into Xorosoft automatically.
- Recurring import schedule
- Source folder monitoring
- Automatic load
Encrypted file transfer
+Every file transfer runs over an encrypted SFTP connection rather than plain, unsecured FTP or email.
Benefit: sensitive data stays protected in transit, supporting security and compliance requirements.
Example: a financial extract transfers to a bank's SFTP server with encryption the whole way.
- SFTP encryption
- No plain-text transfer
- Secure connection handshake
Credential & SSH key management
+Connections authenticate using a managed credential or SSH key, stored securely rather than hardcoded.
Benefit: authentication details stay protected and easy to rotate when needed.
Example: a trading partner's SSH key is stored and used automatically for every scheduled transfer.
- SSH key support
- Credential storage
- Key rotation
Field mapping & export format configuration
+Export file content, field order, and format are configured to match what the destination expects.
Benefit: a partner receives data in the exact format their system requires, without a manual reformat.
Example: an export formats order data into the fixed-width layout a partner's system requires.
- Field mapping
- Format configuration
- Custom delimiters
Export file naming & structure rules
+Export files follow configured naming conventions, such as including a date or batch identifier.
Benefit: partners can automate their own processing because file names are predictable.
Example: an export file names itself "orders_2026-10-01.csv" automatically based on the run date.
- Dynamic file naming
- Date/batch identifiers
- Folder structure rules
Delivery confirmation
+Each transfer confirms successful delivery to or from the destination server.
Benefit: teams know a file actually arrived instead of assuming it did.
Example: a confirmed delivery marks an export job complete, with the confirmation timestamp logged.
- Transfer confirmation
- Timestamp logging
- Failure detection
Error handling & retry
+A failed transfer - such as a connection timeout - retries automatically before being flagged for review.
Benefit: a temporary network issue doesn't require manual intervention to resolve.
Example: a transfer that times out retries twice automatically before alerting the team.
- Automatic retry
- Configurable retry limits
- Failure alerts
Multiple destination support
+Manages connections to several different SFTP destinations, each with its own schedule and settings.
Benefit: a business with several trading partners manages every connection from one place.
Example: three different partners each receive their own scheduled export, formatted to their requirements.
- Multi-destination management
- Per-destination settings
- Independent schedules
Transfer activity audit log
+Every transfer - successful, failed, or retried - logs with its timestamp, direction, and outcome.
Benefit: compliance or security review has a complete record to draw on.
Example: an audit log shows every file sent to a bank's SFTP server over the past year.
- Full transfer history
- Searchable log
- Export for compliance review
