SFTP exports — split large exports into smaller files
18 days ago
Max File Size lets you cap how large each file in a Lytics File Service SFTP export can get. Previously a large audience always exported as a single file; now, when that file would exceed the size you set, Lytics automatically splits the export across several smaller files — so a downstream system with an upload limit (such as a data warehouse or ingestion service) can accept your data.
What's new
- Set a maximum file size on the Export CSV via SFTP and Export JSON via SFTP jobs; larger exports are delivered as numbered parts (…part-001, …part-002, and so on).
- Every user is still exported — the data is split across files, never truncated.
- The size limit applies to the data before compression, so gzip/zip or PGP-encrypted files arrive smaller than the limit you set.
How it works
Leave Max File Size blank (or 0) to keep exporting a single file — existing jobs are unchanged. Set a value (in bytes) to split, and it works with your current SFTP authorization, compression, and PGP settings.
See Lytics File Service (/docs/lytics-file-service) for setup details, including the minimum size.
