In an upcoming release, sFTP accounts will be limited to 5 connections per user.

Overview

Coupa primarily exchanges files with customers via the SFTP protocol. We support both username/password or SSH key authentication. SFTP is preferable to FTP as both the control and data channels are encrypted.

Coupa supports RSA 2048 bit key for SSH authentication.
