@kapa.ai i’m on cloud and trying to set up an SFTP connection which also decrypts pgp. What are my options? The SFTP and SFTP Bulk connectors dont seem to have this functionality…

You're correct — neither the SFTP nor SFTP Bulk connectors currently support PGP encryption/decryption. This has been raised as a feature request in the Airbyte community. [Enhancement Request] The knowledge sources do not contain information about a built-in or officially supported workaround for PGP decryption within Airbyte Cloud. Your main options, based on what the community has discussed, are: 1. Contribute to the connector: You could contribute PGP decryption functionality to the existing SFTP connectors by submitting a pull request to the Airbyte GitHub repository. [Enhancement Request] 2. Build a custom connector: You could create your own custom version of the SFTP connector that includes PGP decryption logic. However, note that deploying fully custom connectors on Airbyte Cloud has limitations — custom connectors are more straightforward on self-hosted (Open Source/Enterprise) deployments. 3. Pre-process files before ingestion: A common practical workaround is to decrypt the PGP-encrypted files before they land on the SFTP server (or in an intermediate storage layer), so Airbyte only needs to read already-decrypted files. Unfortunately, there is no native PGP decryption option available in the current SFTP or SFTP Bulk connectors on Airbyte Cloud. If this is a critical requirement, I'd recommend: • Upvoting or commenting on the existing feature request in the Airbyte Community Slack to increase visibility. • Checking the Airbyte connector support levels page for guidance on contributing. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
