Streamline your data management process with the FTP/SFTP + Tableau integration

FTP/SFTP are two different protocols used to transfer data over the internet. FTP, in fact, stands for File Transfer Protocol, and companies all over the world use it to share files with internet users.

These files can be downloaded from an FTP server by people who connects to internet through and FTP client. SFTP - Secure File Transfer Protocol, ensures that the files and data are transferred through a safe stream.

Today, the FTP protocol is considered very unsafe and risky, because data like usernames and passwords are not encrypted during the transfer. However, File transfer protocol without encryption is still the most widely used on internet.

From connecting to collaboration possibilities, Tableau is the most powerful, secure, and flexible end-to-end analytics platform for the data.

Tableau harnesses the power of data to put users in the best possible conditions. Designed for the individual but scalable for the entire company, Tableau is the only business intelligence platform that transforms data into information useful for making the best decisions.

With Tableau, companies can create and publish dashboards and share them with partners, colleagues, or customers, but without the need for programming skills.
