Enabling SFTP

Introduction

Quite often when working with a third party on a project such a module vendor, the first thing they will ask for is SFTP access so they can investigate.

On MDOQ this is very quick and easy to setup.

Process

Before you can enable SFTP access your instance must have already been created.

1. Select your instance
2. Navigate to "Settings" > "SFTP"
3. Unselect "Inherit from live" checkbox
4. Click to enable SFTP
5. Click "Save"

MDOQ will recognise that SFTP settings have changed and recreate all the need components to enable SFTP access for the instance

SFTP Access

Once enabled and synchronized you can then connect via SFTP to your instance.

1. Select your instance
2. Navigate to "Settings" > "SFTP"
3. At the bottom of the SFTP Settings you will find the credentials to connect to the instance.

Enable For All Future Instances

Altough you cannot pick the SFTP credentials an instance is created with you can enable SFTP by default. The will mean every new instance will have SFTP enabled.

1. Select your live connector / production instance
2. Navigate to "Settings" > "SFTP"
3. Select "Enable"
4. Click "Save"
