Getting Your Data Securely Into Clario

The first step is to upload data into Clario using any application that supports Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). Data files must be either a delimited (valid delimiters are: comma, semi-colon, pipe, double-pipe, TAB, or SPACE) or fixed-length flat file. Clario supports SFTP file uploads for extremely large files, with a maximum size of 5 Terabytes (TB) each.

Note

If you do not have an SFTP application, there are several free SFTP clients available for download online, such as WinSCP, FileZilla, and GlobalScape CuteFTP.

Compression

You can SFTP compressed and/or uncompressed data files into the /toClario folder. However, we recommend you upload a gzipped (gzip) file for a compressed single file; a zipped (zip) file for a compressed set of files. This speeds up transfer times, especially on larger files.

• Once installed (or on your existing SFTP application), connect as follows:
  • HOST: sftp.clarioanalytics.com
  • USER ID: <Clario user id>
  • PASSWORD: <Clario user password>
  • PORT: 22
• Once connected:
  • Browse to the local (source) folder containing the data you wish to securely transfer
  • Browse to the /toClario target folder
  • Select and drag data files from the source folder to the /toClario folder
  • Once the file transfer is complete, you may close your SFTP application
• What happens next?
  • An automated script picks the files up, decompresses them (if necessary) and moves them to your Shared Files.
