  • You know the target host IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN), the absolute destination directory, and the user credentials.
  • The selected MCE can establish an outbound SFTP connection to the target host on port 22.
  • If you use public key authentication, the private key is available in /opt/oracle/mce/export/audit-export/keys on the selected MCE, and the corresponding public key is installed for the target user on the receiver host.
