    Enter the path to the source directory or the path to the import file here. Enter the path to the source directory if you want to import multiple files. Enter the path to the import file if you only want to import one file.

    Please note the following points:

    • For security reasons, only the SFTP protocol can be used.
    • Only files in csv and csv.gz format can be imported.
    • You can create multiple imports with the same source path. However, you can activate only one of them at a time.

    The following combinations can be used for authentication:

    • User name + password
