SFTP Import

1. Purpose

The SFTP import interface consists of a data server provided by TACHOfresh. Driver and vehicle files are automatically imported into this server from an SFTP-enabled device (e.g. DigiPostPro). The files are regularly retrieved from the TACHOfresh data server, validated, imported into the TACHOfresh database and subsequently removed from the SFTP server. 

2. Prerequisites

• The SFTP function has been enabled for the service partner by TACHOfresh. A price list for the SFTP service is available.

• The SFTP licence has been activated by the service partner for their customer.

• An internet connection for the SFTP-enabled device.

• Username and password for SFTP access.

3. Enabling SFTP for the service partner

The SFTP function is not available to service partners by default.

If a service partner wishes to use the SFTP function, this must first be ordered from TACHOfresh. To do so, send an     email to:

bestellung-order@tachofresh.com

Once the feature has been enabled by TACHOfresh Support, the ‘SFTP Yes/No’ option will be available to the service partner in the service partner portal,

under the ‘Licence/Further settings’ menu item.  The SFTP function can then be activated for individual customers.

4. Enable the SFTP server for the customer

In the customer’s account, the licence option “SFTP = Yes” is enabled. This causes the menu item “Management -> SFTP Management” to appear

5. Configure the SFTP server

Go to Management -> SFTP Management. The server is provisioned automatically. The URL is displayed (e.g. sftp.cloud.tachofresh.eu:22). Set a username and password, then save the settings.
