AWS Transfer Family SFTP Connectors now support continuing file transfers during credential rotation

AWS Transfer Family SFTP Connectors now continue file transfers while rotating credentials, automatically retrieving them from AWS Secrets Manager version stages without manual updates

AWS Transfer Family SFTP Connectors now support credential rotation for remote SFTP servers without interrupting file transfers. Connectors automatically use the latest AWS Secrets Manager version, attempting authentication in order, so transfers continue even if credentials rotate. No manual reset is required. This feature is available in all supported AWS regions.
