The File Transfer task allows you to execute file transfers on remote machines using any of the following protocols:

  • FTP
  • SFTP
  • UDM
  • FTPS
  • FTPES

To run a File Transfer task, you need Universal Agent for Linux/Unix, z/OS, or Windows to communicate with the File Transfer server. The Agent can, but does not have to be, running on the same machine as the File Transfer server.

...

When you create a File Transfer task, you select a file transfer protocol: FTP, SFTP, UDM, FTPS or FTPSFTPES. 

The File Transfer Task Exclude Protocols Universal Controller system property permits the exclusion of one or more, but not all, protocols from being selected (see the Transfer Protocol field, below.)

The order of precedence for selecting a default Transfer Protocol for a File Transfer task is UDM, SFTP, FTPS, FTPES, FTP.  The first of these protocols that is not specified in the File Transfer Task Exclude Protocols system property will be the default.

...

Make sure you have your private/public keys properly set up and working before you configure the Controller to use it. For example, to validate the keys, log into your destination server from your agent server using ssh.
