Although bxp has a pure SaaS front end, sometimes, especially for data heavy reasons, it can be better to use something stronger than HTTP.
So for heavy lifting / automated requests, an sftp account can be created.
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. The S part adds secure. So for large files SFTP was purpose built for moving large files, HTTP wasn't.
= SFTP uses in bxp =
If you're creating large amounts of material in an eCourse and they're videos, then the videos make most sense to upload via SFTP. [[Create_an_eCourse_through_SFTP]]
If you want to automate retrieval of reports that were generated on a scheduled basis, this too is a good idea to do via SFTP. [[Data_Profiling_-_Customised_-_Management#Output_Options]]
If there are processes for collating data, such as data you want to auto import / export, then SFTP is ideal. MetaData can work through SFTP [[MetaData_-_Retrieve]]
= How to interact with SFTP =
Firstly you'll need a tool to work with SFTP. The world's most widely used tool for SFTP is FileZilla. [[Using_FileZilla_for_SFTP]]
The next bit you'll need is an account. Please contact support@bxpsoftware.com and we can get that set up for you.
= The folder structure =
Every client has their own structure which is secured just for their account.
