Introduction
This guide is for the purpose of setting up an SFTP account for the secure transfer of data between your institution and the HelioCampus Assessment platform.
We will need the following information from you to complete the setup process.
Public Key for Authentication
A Public/Private Key exchange is the preferred authentication method to access the SFTP server. Please reach out to your institution’s security team and request they supply an existing public key or generate a new key pair for this purpose and provide us that new public key to apply to your institution’s account on the SFTP server.
SFTP Client IP Address(es)
Please provide the Public/WAN IP address(es) or Public/WAN IP range or external DNS/FQDN name(s) of the server(s) or workstation(s) that will be connecting to our SFTP server so that we can explicitly allow those connections from your institution’s network to our server.

Please send all of the above information to your Client Success Manager. If you do not feel that sending this information via email is suitable please inform us how you would like to transfer the information and we will be glad to accommodate you.
