# SFTP Upload

SFTP Upload sends a generated file to a remote path. Use it after [Generate file](/test-steps/runner/generate-file.md) when the journey must land content on an SFTP host.

## When to use it

* Place a file the Flow just generated onto an SFTP server.
* Pair with [SFTP List](/test-steps/integration/sftp-list.md) or an SFTP Check when you need to confirm the upload.

## Example Flow

Generate the file, then upload it over SFTP.

**Pro tip:** Keep host, user, and path in Values so the same Flow can target staging and production SFTP endpoints.
