10/30/2019, 10:49 PMHas anyone worked with the sftp module and generating password Guids to create connections? I'm trying to wrap my head around how this all is intended to work. My initial thought was to generate the guid via a credential field in a suitelet - and store it in a custom record in a password-typed field for later use, but that field type seems to be limited to 15 characters. A guid is much longer than that and storing it in plain text seems like a terrible idea. Barring storing the guid for later use, how would one go about creating sftp connections as part of an automated process?

10/31/2019, 5:51 PMThanks for the responses. I'll take a look at that tutorial. I've been hesitant to put the Guid in a script parameter, but maybe it's more secure than I'm giving it credit for given the nature of the Guid itself?
