Question:
How can a connection be initiated to Vault FTP for Vault Bulk API?
Answer:
Vault Bulk API allows for uploading and updating documents in bulk utilizing an FTP connection.
Use the following settings with an FTP client:
- Protocol: FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
- Encryption: Require explicit FTP over TLS (FTPS). This is a security requirement. The network infrastructure must support FTPS traffic.
- Port: This does not typically need to be added and defaults to Port 21
-
Host: {DNS}.veevavault.com.
- Example: “veepharm” is the DNS in veepharm.veevavault.com
-
User: {DNS}.veevavault.com+{USERNAME}. This uses the same username that the user logs in with.
- Example: veepharm.veevavault.com+tchung@veepharm.com.
- Password: Login password for this Vault. This is the same password used for standard login.
- Login Type: Normal
- Transfer File Type: Transfer files as binary
