Sending Files Using an SFTP Client: A Quick Guide

To get an overview of our data requirements, click here

The easiest and most common method to exchange files with Full Measure is through an SFTP server. SFTP, which stands for SSH File Transfer Protocol, or Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a separate protocol packaged with SSH that works in a similar way but over a secure connection.

The server, hosted by Full Measure can be accessed using various free-to-use software options. Below are the most common. 

Cyberduck

FileZilla

WinSCP

You may also opt to send us your files automatically from your system of record (Slate, ect.) While this acts as a great deliverability mechanism, to see the files themselves, we recommend using one of the above clients. 

Below you will find a step-by-step walkthrough on how to get connected to Full Measure's SFTP for each of the free platforms above (Cyberduck, FileZilla, and WinSCP).

Cyberduck

Once you have Cyberduck installed, navigate to the "Open Connection" icon in the upper left-hand side of the interface. Once there, use the connection information sent to you by your Full Measure Onboarding Specialist.

(Full Measure Sample Below) 

server: sftp.fullmeasure.io
path: fme-sftp/fullmeasure_university/outgoing
username: fullmeasure_university
port: 22
Private-key:* file attached to email *

Note:

• You may leave the password blank. You will choose the private key sent to you. 
• (If on Windows PC) When choosing the key, make sure to set the search filter to "all files"

Now that you have inputted your proper credentials, tap "connect." Once connected, you will be able to see your "incoming" and "outgoing" folders. 

• outgoing = the location to place your files
• incoming = the location to receive files (if applicable) 

Congratulations! You are now connected to Full Measure's SFTP using Cyberduck! 🦆

FileZilla

Once you have FileZilla installed, navigate to the "Site Manager" icon in the upper left-hand side of the interface. Once there, create a new site and proceed to use the connection information sent to you by your Full Measure Onboarding Specialist.

Once you have your Key file selected, allow the site to convert the key to .ppk format, then press "OK" to exit out of the advanced site settings.
