Sending CSV File from Microsoft Data Factory Lakehouse Environment to External Server via SFTP?

Question

I'm currently working on a project where I need to transfer a CSV file from my Microsoft Data Factory Lakehouse environment to an external server using SFTP. I've been exploring the documentation and experimenting with various approaches, but I'm still encountering some challenges.

Does anyone have experience with this specific scenario? Could you please guide me on the steps or provide any insights into how I can accomplish this task efficiently within the Data Factory environment?

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried anything yet because I don't know where to begin.
