SFTP CSV Upload: Required Files and Processing Order

Kolleno's SFTP pipeline requires 7 CSV files on every upload. Learn the file names, order, and what happens when one is missing.

Kolleno ingests financial data via a secure SFTP connection using a set of structured CSV files. Every upload batch must include all 7 required files even if some contain only headers.

Note: A missing file will cause the processing queue to stall.

For full column specifications and field requirements, see: Data for Kolleno CSV Connector via SFTP.
