[former_member1135039]

My client provided me with the above information. How can I establish a connection with this channel and complete the identity authentication, so that I can transfer files? Is there any relevant documentation for reference? Thank you very much everyone!

This does not look like SAP Business Connector is used here?! Can you provide more details about from where you want to connect to the OFTP server? From an SAP ABAP System, from BTP, from SAP Business One, or something else?

If you really want to connect from SAP Business Connector, I have to say, that SAP BC does not support the OFTP protocol out-of-the-box. You would have to find an OFTP client implementation (for example Accord Odette FTP) and plug it into the SAP BC. This could be done similarly to what I described about plugging in an Excel processing library into the SAP BC. See this blog: Using Java Functionality from your ABAP Programs
