The Files to SCP component takes input files and uploads them to the specified directory on the specified server using the SCP protocol. Useful for uploading dumps of the data resulting from a pipeline. It is often used with the Virtuoso loader, which tells a remote OpenLink Virtuoso instance to load a file located on the file system of the server it is running on.
