10.3 and 3.1 How to Upload a Database to the Vermont Systems SFTP Site
Question
What are the steps needed to put a database on the your Vermont Systems sFTP Site?
Answer
- Make a backup of your database.
- In Windows, compress the files and password protect them.
- Contact Vermont Systems Support for the current login credentials. These change every 90-100 days. You will want login credentials for user IDs vsiftp1 - vsiftp4.
- On your local workstation, open a file transfer client that supports sftp, such as FileZilla or WinScp. There are many free file transfer clients available.
- Enter "sftp://sftp.vermontsystems.com" as the Host Name. Use "22" as your Port.
- Enter the Username and Password login credentials that Support gave you and log in.
- Once on the sftp site, go to /pub. If a folder has not been created for you, create a folder and copy your files into it.
- Notify your Support Rep that the files are being uploaded and relay the password you used to protect them.
- Exit the sftp site when the copy/upload is complete.
