sftp server

SFTP is the acronym for Secure File Transfer Protocol and is a file protocol that allows users to transfer files or other data between computers over the web securely

When used within the orgvue data refresh process it offers the following features and benefits:

  • Source data extract files (.csv files) are typically placed on the users SFTP server via a scheduled process (managed within users organization)​
  • Creating a scheduled process to place the files on the SFTP server will remove any manual steps (i.e. human interaction) in the end-to-end process​
  • The orgvue data refresh process can be scheduled to “pull” the file produced from source system on a daily, weekly or monthly basis​

Data is only ever at rest while within the orgvue platform, or while residing on users SFTP server
