Hi Alteryx Community,
I am having problem connecting to SFTP from Alteryx Designer. I have tested 2 methods to connect. Below are the descriptions of the method that I have attempted:
Method #1
Connect using Text Input tool + Download tool. I refer to the link below:
Solved: Download from SFTP - Alteryx Community
Unfortunately I encountered the message "Error Transferring Data: Failed Initialization". When I searched for the error on Community it says "there is no workaround besides making sure any cipher suites we propose exist on the host server".
I believe we still cannot connect to SHA2 SFTP.
Please refer link below:

Method#2
I downloaded alteryx 3rd party SFTP tool (.yxi) from Github and tested the connection. Please refer the links below from both Alteryx Community and Github:
SFTP tools for Alteryx - Alteryx Community
Releases · SKOPOS-ELEMENTS/SFTPTools_Alteryx · GitHub
I have tested the connection through Alteryx Designer version 2020.3 and I achieved to connect to the SFTP. Unfortunately, after I have updated the Alteryx Designer to the latest version 2021.1 I am unable to install the .yxi tool which I believe is due to to the 3rd party tool not supporting the latest Python package (3.8). I am aware that since Alteryx Designer version 2020.4 the Python package is upgraded from version 3.6 to version 3.8 hence why the tool fail to install.
I have searched the Alteryx forum anything on connecting to SFTP and tested all the suggested solutions but unfortunately I am still unable to connect and encounter errors.
Is there any solution to this issue? I really appreciate if anyone can help or suggest me solutions on this. Thank you in advance.
