Instructions & Important Notes: 

Name/Password:         Login credentials can be set through your ECGrid portal.  

 

Access List:         You can restrict the IPs of the clients authorized to access your SFTP account on your ECGrid portal 

 

Config on Portal:         /MyHub/Mailboxes/ then {Mailbox}/Connection  

Uploading:                      You will upload outbound files from your network via the /out directory. Uploaded files are posted directly into ECGridOS after successful upload. Do not use temporary extensions with rename. If you post with a temporary name, that will be sent to ECGridOS. There is no RENAME function on the ECGrid SFTP server.  

 

Downloading:         You will download inbound files to your network from the /in directory. A copy will remain in the archive for 30 days.  

 

DeleteonDownload:             DeleteOnDownload can be set from your ECGrid.com portal.  

  •      If DeleteOnDownload is True, meaning that after the system sees a successful transfer to your SFTP client, it will delete the file from the /out folder.  

  •      If DeleteOnDownload is set to False for the mailbox, then the SFTP client software must delete the file on the SFTP server after a successful download.  

 

Important Notes:


              There is no physical underlying file system, so there is no chance of file name conflicts or partial uploads.  

 

Permissions are global across our network  

 

You can upload to the /out directory and download from the /in directory. You are unable to write to a file, rewrite an extension, or move a file.
