The SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) method of rostering enables secure access and the transfer and management of files over a network.
Rostering with SFTP
- Log in to your Educator Center account.
- Click Accounts at the top of your screen and select Roster in the drop-down menu.
- Click Update or Add to Current Roster.
- Click Download the CSV Template to download a blank roster template.
- Fill out the roster 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 on your computer and upload it. You will be asked to confirm your upload before it is properly uploaded.
- Click Save Roster.
- Go back and click Roster in the Accounts menu drop-down.
- Click Update or Add to Current Roster.
- Click the Connect button under the Connect with SFTP box.
- Not the SFTP Details listed here, including Host, Port, Username, and Censored Password. Then set these details up with your organization’s preferred FTP method (e.g., FileZilla.)
- Once this connection is set, upload your roster details through your SFTP server, which will automatically be synced to our system.
For the initial connection, your Administrator must log in to the Educator Center and select “Save Roster.” After that, roster updates will be saved immediately. You will receive an automated email notifying you if the file is too large or has incorrect headers.
