SFTP

ReCAP middleware has a provision for transferring files such as reports, data files or anything else to a FTP server.

Transferring files

In order to transfer files, you will need the following;

1. Private key
2. Host URL

Please contact your institution or peri.subrahmanya@htcinc.com to obtain the prviate key. The host url is dev.recap.htcinc.com and there are few different ways you can connect.

1. Command Line: If you are going to use command line, ssh client must be installed on your machine. For Unix/Linux based systems (Ubuntu, Mac), it comes pre-installed. For windows, you could choose to use command line or a GUI, explained in the point 2.
   1. Use the following command to connect to the server:
      • sftp -i "path to the key file" recapftp@devops-recap.htcinc.com
   2. Once connected, you can upload the files with the following command:
      • put "file name"
2. Graphical User Interface (GUI): Install any FTP client or Filezilla.
   1. Open Filezilla.
   2. Go to Preferences or Settings.
   3. You should see the settings dialog as shown in the screenshot below. 
   4. Add the key file (that you obtained earlier) and click "Add Keyfile" to add the key.
   5. In the Host section: devops-recap.htcinc.com
   6. In the username section type in "recapftp"
   7. There is no need for a password since the private key will be used for authentication/authorization.

   9. Click on "Quickconnect".
   10. Once you are connected, you can transfer files from your local machine to server.
