Export Files (Element451 to EAB)#

Below are the steps to get connected to EAB’s SFTP

  1. Create a public/private key pair.
  2. Share the public key file with EAB through the Box folder they created or with your EAB contact for the project.
  3. Once EAB has added the public key to their SFTP, open FileZilla or similar SFTP connection app.
    1. Open File Zilla>File>Site Manager>New Site
    2. Protocol: “SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol”
    3. Host: “filetransfer.dataplatform.eab.com”
    4. Port: “22”
    5. Logon Type: “Key file”
    6. User: the username EAB provides
    7. Key file: browse your computer for the private key file
    8. Click “Connect”
  4. When FileZilla connects the remote site field will have something along the lines of “/panto.eab.import/data/tenant/...”. Copy that entire field with the exception of the first / before panto.
  5. Go into the Element451 instance and add a data connector under Data + Automations>Import/Export>Data Connectors.
    1. Name the connector “EAB ALR”
    2. Host: “filetransfer.dataplatform.eab.com”
    3. Port: “22”
    4. Username: the username EAB provides
    5. Password: skip this
    6. Path: paste the “panto.eab.import...” path and add a / at the end of it
    7. Private Key File: open the private key file that was created, copy the entire text of the private key file including the beginning message and ending message and paste in the field
  6. Connect
