FTP File Exports

Purpose

Emply offers file uploads to ftp servers - the customer's own server or a third party which the customer have contracted with.

It is configured from the integration section under 'Exports'.

Preparations:

• Configure a FTP server preferable with SFTP, but FTPS
• For more security add white listing of Emply server IP 193.161.150.202
• Create an export template Ie. CSV with your desired data content.
• Switch on FTP and choose your method.

For SFTP you can use the OpenSSH key

• Select Protocol sftp://
• Tick 'Use public key'*
• Copy the key and use it in configuration of FTP server with SFTP encryption.
• Fill in URL 
  • Example: localhost:[port_number]/folder
  • Note: if you are not using default ports for protocol enter port number in URL
• Fill in username
• Check connection

*If you do not use public key then

• Fill in Credentials and fingerprint
• Check connection

How to find fingerprint

It's the customer or their FTP supplier that provides user credentials fingerprints. 

In order to get the fingerprint for a FTP you will need to Host, Username and Passwords - which you will get from the ftp provider. 

In addition you'll need a FTP client - like Filezilla below

Left side is the local site / your own pc: Right side displays the remote site (FTP server)

*Fingerprint is collected from the clients server, it's required that they have whitelisted our IP range.

Default ports

SFTP: 22

FTPS: 990 implicit

How to test it:
