Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) allows you to securely transfer files to another organisation. There may be cases where you want to transfer your data to Airship or set up a way of frequently or automatically transferring files to Airship.
Set up your SFTP server
To begin, start by signing up for an SFTP service. If you already have an SFTP service, this can be used to transfer files to Airship.
If you don’t have one already, sign up for an SFTP service. Here is one possible third party service that provides this: https://www.exavault.com/
