This method of rostering enables secure access, transfer and management of files over a network.
Rostering with Secure File Transfer Protocol
- Log in to your Educator Center account.
- Click Accounts at the top of your screen.
- Click Roster.
- Click Update or Add to Current Roster.
- Click Download the CSV Template to download a blank roster template.
- Fill out the template with your school, class, teacher, and student information. Be sure to note which fields are required.
- When you finish entering your information in the template, save it to your computer as a CSV UTF-8 file.
- Click Upload CSV. Find your CSV UTF-8 file and upload it. You will be asked to confirm your upload before it is properly uploaded.
- Click Save Roster.
- Go back and click Roster.
- Click Update or Add to Current Roster.
- Click the Connect button under the Connect with SFTP box.
- Grab the SFTP Details; including Host, Port, Username, & Censored Password. Then set these details up with the organization’s preferred FTP method (EX: We utilize FileZilla.)
- Once connected on FTP, you will be able to upload our Legacy CSV file via your FTP and the Educator Center will then start the roster sync.
Once this connection is set, upload roster details through your SFTP server which will automatically be synced to our system. The administrator will log in to the Educator Center after an upload is complete to verify data was processed successfully. For the initial connection, the administrator must log in to the Educator Center and select “Save Roster”, after that, they will be saved immediately. You will receive an automated email notifying you if the file is too large or has incorrect headers.
