Overview
This node operation retrieves details of a specific SFTP user from an SSH SFTP service. It is useful when you need to fetch information about an existing SFTP user by their unique identifier, for example, to verify user details, audit access, or manage user accounts programmatically.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching the configuration or status of an SFTP user before performing updates.
- Integrating with administrative dashboards that display user details.
- Automating compliance checks by retrieving user metadata.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sftp User Id | The unique identifier (ID) of the SFTP user to retrieve. This is required to specify which user's details should be fetched. |
Output
The output will contain a JSON object representing the retrieved SFTP user's details. This typically includes all relevant properties of the user as returned by the underlying API, such as username, permissions, creation date, and other metadata.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent any associated files or keys related to the SFTP user, but based on the provided code and context, the output is purely JSON.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
- The node communicates with the mittwald mStudio API endpoint at
https://api.mittwald.de. - Proper network access to this API endpoint must be configured in n8n.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Sftp User Id: Ensure the "Sftp User Id" property is provided and correctly references an existing user.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network issues: Confirm that the n8n instance can reach the mittwald API endpoint without firewall or proxy blocking.
- User not found: If the specified user ID does not exist, the API may return a 404 error; check the ID for correctness.
