# Outbound Transports

**Outbound Transports** provide a connection to a remote service that you can send files to.

You configure an **Outbound Transport** with the appropriate details for connecting to the remote server and service to enable **Statelake** to send files.

**Outbound Transports** are assigned to **Trading Partners** against specific **File Connections**.

Whenever an **Action** executes for a **Trading Partner** and creates a file with an **Outbound Transport** assigned to it, this file will be delivered to the **Trading Partner** via the **Outbound Transport**.

Multiple **Outbound Tansports** can be linked to a single **File Connection**.

This allows an **Action** to be configured so that when a file is created it is sent to the **Trading Partner** using a **Transport** that supports or recognises the transfer protocol that the **Trading Partner** is wanting **Statelake** to use.
