OIC File Server

File based integrations play an important role for non-real time bulk data between source and target systems, as web service based integrations have payload limitations. FTP adapter is being used for these types of integrations in Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC). If there is a need to provision SFTP server on Oracle Cloud, it can be done through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) compute resource. File server has been added as part OIC itself in Generation 2 upgrade and available on all regional data centers.

Enabling

If you would like to use 500GB of storage per service instance, it has to be enabled once using Oracle cloud OIC console. Please note that once enabled, it can't be undone.

Settings

This page displays the IP address and Port of this SFTP server. Apart from SFTP interface, REST API also can be used to access this server. Idle timeout and default users and groups folder configurations can be done in this page. Most important security settings like Authentication Type and other algorithms can be configured here.

Users & Groups

Create the required users and Groups in Oracle Identity Cloud Service who will be using the SFTP access to File Server.

Once Users/Groups are created, they will have separate folders in home directory and the permissions like Read, Write, Delete etc., can be controlled through Users and Groups page.

Folders

Folders page can be used to create and manage folders and set their permissions. A user's permissions on a particular folder are determined using both the user's permissions and user's group permissions.

Securing from particular IP addresses

Service request with Oracle Support can be raised to allow only a particular IP address or a IP addresses Classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) block.
