To ensure the secure transfer of your files, use Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). Here's a guide to help you set up SFTP access on your server:

Please note: These instructions below are generic and may vary depending on your specific FTP server software and configuration. It's recommended to consult your server documentation for detailed instructions tailored to your FTP environment.

1. Enable SFTP Access:

• Log in to your server administration panel.

• Locate the section for SFTP configuration or secure file transfer settings.

• Enable SFTP access for your server. This process may vary depending on your server software, so consult the documentation for detailed instructions.

2. Create an SFTP Account:

• Once SFTP is enabled, follow the steps for user management or account creation.

• Create a new user account specifically for your data transfer.

• Set a strong password for the account. 

• Choose the directory where you want ScrapeHero to upload the data. You can either create a new directory for this purpose or designate an existing one.

3. Grant Upload Permissions:

• During user account creation, ensure ScrapeHero has the necessary permissions to upload files to the designated directory. The specific terminology might vary, but look for options like write access or upload privileges.

4. Share Credentials:

• Share with the below details to connect to your FTP server

• FTP server address (host): This is the address you'll use to connect to the server.

• Username: The username you created for the data transfer.

• Password: The strong password you set for the account.

5. Additional Notes:

• If your server requires port forwarding to access the FTP server from outside your network, you'll need to configure your router accordingly. Consult your router's documentation or internet service provider (ISP) for assistance with port forwarding.
