Set up a Celigo-hosted SFTP file server

Turn on a Celigo-hosted SFTP file server for an environment so your account-holders can exchange files with you through Celigo Storage. You choose a permanent identifier that becomes part of every account-holder's sign-in, turn the server on, and copy the connection details to share. The whole task takes a few minutes. Turning the server on or off and choosing its identifier are server-level settings available only to the account owner and administrators; users with Manage access to an integration can administer accounts but not the server (see Create and manage file server accounts). For an introduction to the file server and how it relates to Celigo Storage, see Celigo-hosted file server overview.

Turn on the file server

1. Select an environment.
2. Go to Resources , and then select File storage.
3. Select SFTP file server.
4. Select Set up file server.

5. Enter a File server identifier. Use 3–30 lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens, and don't start or end with a hyphen. The identifier must be unique within your region.

   Caution

   You can't change the identifier after you turn the file server on. Choose a name your organization can keep, because it is part of every account-holder's sign-in (<username>@<identifier>).

6. Select Turn on file server.

After you turn it on, SFTP file server shows File server settings with two items: Accounts, where you create file server accounts, and SFTP file server, where you find the connection details and can turn the server off.

Turning the file server on or off, and the identifier you select, are recorded in the platform audit log.

Copy the connection details

After you turn on the file server, select SFTP file server under File server settings to see everything an account-holder needs to connect, ready to copy:

• Host — The regional host URL.
• Port — 22.
• Login format — <username>@<identifier>, where the username comes from the account-holder's file server account.

Create an account for each account-holder before sharing details — the login isn't complete without a username (see Create and manage file server accounts). For the account-holder-facing instructions you can copy and send, see Connect to a Celigo-hosted SFTP file server.

Turn off the file server

Turning off the file server for an environment stops all account-holder connections immediately, including active sessions. Your configuration and accounts — including their permissions and SSH keys — are retained, and account-holders can connect again when you turn it back on.

1. Select an environment.
2. Go to Resources , and then select File storage.
3. Select SFTP file server.
4. Under File server settings, select SFTP file server.
5. Select Turn off file server.
