How do I define the connection string?

DropStream uses a URI connection string to define how to exchange files with a remote server.

Format: ://:@:

Example: sftp://joe:password123@ftp.example.com:22

We support the following File Transfer Protocols:

FTP
FTPS
SFTP (SSH + FTP)

NOTE: the username and password must be URL encoded. This encoding tool, https://www.url-encode-decode.com, can be used as a quick way to encode only the username and password portion of the connection.
