SFTP accounts allow you to connect to the SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) file directory, allowing your designer to add images and data through an SFTP program. The video and text documentation below will walk you through setting up an SFTP account.
Add An SFTP Account
1. Navigate to Settings >Users, select FTP Accounts from the drop-down menu, then click Add An FTP Account.
2. Fill out all of the required fields. Each username will need to be unique. Check the Is Active? Box if you would like this FTP Account to be active.
3. Now you're done! Either use the account or contact the company that would like to use it and provide them with the information they need.
Logging In With FileZilla
You can choose to use whichever FTP program you'd like, but below are instructions for logging into FileZilla.
1. Click File > Site Manager > New Site
2. Set Host as sftp2.uswest.vin65.com
3. Make sure to select SFTP as the Protocol
4. Enter your username and password
SFTP Troubleshooting
SFTP Connection settings:
- SFTP Mode must be set to active, not passive.
- Base2 Server URL = sftp.uswest.vin65.com for sites in the US.
- Base3 Server URL = sftp2.uswest.vin65.com for locations in the US.
- Server URL = sftp.aus.vin65.com for sites in AUS.
- The username and password are what you set up in the steps above.
If you are experiencing a permission issue with your SFTP, email support@winedirect.com, and we can help take a look.
