We elucidate the differences and similarities of directed transport in periodic symmetric potentials that are driven either by Poissonian white shot noise or by deterministic noise. The key ingredient for finite current is identical in both cases: A statistical asymmetry —as characterized by nonvanishing odd-numbered higher-order cumulants of the noise force— yields different forward and backward transition rates.
