When using the Receive File Over SFTP SS, am I supposed to know the file name sent by the external system? What if I don't know the filename or I need to transfer via SFTP all the files under a specific folder?

Many thanks, Stefan! I'll take into account your precious suggestion before deciding which mechanism to implement.

AFAIK if you ensure that the involved processes are deleted directly after completion to free up memory this should be no problem. Check best practices for memory efficient process models. And you should do a analysis of memory usage as described in documentation to find out how much memory is really used. I think this will cause trouble only if there are a lot of ( lets say > 10 ) incoming documents at the same time.

Thanks.
I'm also evaluating the possibility of using the SFTP plugin, but in this case instead of a single self-containing xml request I would receive the xml request + n separate files whose names must be specified in the request. Is the SFTP mechanism much more efficient and scale-able than the base64 encodings conversion to worth the effort?

Have a look at the file transfer smart services for a more efficient and scale-able way of receiving documents into your application:
