    Study Notes

    Data Transfer Component Properties

    • The Data Transfer component enables users to transfer files from a chosen source to a chosen target.
    • The component copies (does not move) the target file.
    • Setting up this component requires selecting a source type and a target type.

    Source Properties

    • Source Type: Select the type of data source.
    • Source URL: The URL, including full path and file name, that points to the source file.
    • Authentication: Select an OAuth entry to authenticate this component (for Box, Dropbox, Microsoft Exchange).
    • File Type: Select whether the file type is a document or attachment (for Microsoft SharePoint).
    • Library: The location where you can upload, create, update, and collaborate on files (for Microsoft SharePoint).

    Target Properties

    • Target Type: Select the target type for the new file.
    • Target URL: The URL (without file name) that points to where the new file will be created.
    • Access Control List Options: Choose from ACL settings that Amazon provides (for Amazon S3).
    • Encryption: Decide how the files are encrypted inside the S3 bucket (for Amazon S3).

    Supported Data Sources and Targets

    • Supported data sources: Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Box, Dropbox, FTP, Google Cloud Storage, HDFS, HTTP, HTTPS, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, SFTP, and Windows Fileshare.
    • Supported targets: Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, HDFS, SFTP, and Windows Fileshare.

    Additional Notes

    • FTPS is not supported through this component. It is recommended to use SFTP instead.
    • When reading from or writing to Windows Fileshare, the SMB2 protocol will be preferred.
    • SMB1 is still supported.
    • Using the unpack option on .exe archives and compressed files is no longer supported from version 1.68.9 onwards of Matillion ETL.
