I'm trying to create a flow that copies a SharePoint file to an internal SFTP server when the file is modified. It looks like the SFTP will come from an Azure Internet IP range. Our external firewall blocks this.
Can an on-premise data gateway be used to keep all traffic internal?
From the FAQ:
This makes me think maybe yes:
Question: Do I need a gateway for cloud data sources, such as Azure SQL Database?
Answer: No, services can generally connect to cloud data sources without a gateway. However, you might need a data gateway if your data sources are behind a firewall, require a VPN, or are on virtual networks.
And this makes me think maybe no:
Question: Are there any inbound connections to the gateway from the cloud?
Answer: No, the gateway uses outbound connections to Azure Service Bus.
I don't know how the gateway works. If I want to SFTP a file out of SharePoint to a non-Windows server, will a gateway work?
Is there any other way to accomplish this?
