SFTP

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is used for the delivery of reports on the uP Payouts solution.

Setup

Setting up your SFTP access with NomuPay is easy. All that is required is:

  1. Your uP Account ID (remember, this is assigned to you during the onboarding process),
  2. An SFTP client (Filezilla, for example),
  3. Your SSH public/private keys, (Not sure how to generate your SSH public/private keys? The team over at Acquia have provided some easy-to-use instructions here), and
  4. Your public IP address (NomuPay will need to whitelist this as part of the setup process)

Once you’ve generated your SSH keys, please take a moment to send the public key and your public IP address to your NomuPay representative. Our team will use this key to create your SFTP connection. Once your connection has been established (we will confirm this with you via email) you will be able to log in using your SFTP client and your uP Account ID (ex. EID-1234567) as your username. Your password will be your private key and must be used with the "Key File" Logon type. For more information on this Logon Type, please review this helpful article from Filezilla.

Once connected, you will see the following directory: uP Payouts. Within the directory you will see the following subdirectories:

  • Request – this is where you will load "Request" files
    • Onboarding (which is used to onboard recipients and transfer methods)
    • Payments (which is used to drop payment files)
  • Response – this is where NomuPay will load "Response" and "Acknowledgement" files
    • Onboarding (which Onboarding acknowledgement/response files are delivered to)
    • Payments (which Payment acknowledgement/response files are delivered to)
  • Reports – this is where NomuPay will load "Report" files

The job that picks up the Request files will run every 5mins.

Files are kept indefinitely on the SFTP.
