We have an saas based electronic billing application used by over 800 companies. We place report data files out on SFTP sites for each client. Is it possible to access data files on SFTP sites from Power BI?

RE: sftp

Not even a response yet, although there are many people in need. Please PowerBi team, consider to work on this, we also need it.

RE: sftp

Althought the idea is dated from 2015, it is still viable. An SFTP connector would be such an improvement

RE: sftp

Please add this connector. I dont understand why this connector is not included already.

RE: sftp

I am not sure why SFTP is not implemented as a connector. Everyone uses it. All the major tools can connect, then why not Power BI.

RE: sftp

We need an SFTP
connector because regular FTP isn't allowed for our DB connections.
