SFTP for data sharing

This page describes how to create an SFTP endpoint and use it to share data.

For the SFTP client, FileZilla 3.67.0 on MacOS Sonoma was used.

1. First you need to generate a key pair, for ex. by using ssh-keygen, and store them in a secure place. Generate the key by using the RSA algorithm, and the key size of 4096 bits is recommended: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

2. Configure an endpoint in the Onedot App

   1. Create endpoint

      1. Click on the plus icon if no endpoint exists

         

      2. Click on the clone icon if an endpoint already exists

         

   2. Fill in the form

      1. Set the the label, Username and Home directory to be the same: YourOrganisationName-SupplierName (without white space or special characters)

      2. Set the public key

      3. Click on the Create button

3. Open an SFTP client, like FileZilla

   1. Configure the connection by using the private key, created before, and the user name used in the previous step

      

   2. The folder is empty by default

      

   3. Create a folder Supplier Name

      

4. Go to the Data View and check the SFTP folder, Supplier Name, created before

5. Share the private key, by using a secure connection, with anyone who should have access to the SFTP endpoint, by using an SFTP client like FileZilla, to be able to add or remove data from the SFTP endpoint.
