Using FTP with Akeneo Supplier Data Manager

Summary

Overview

SDM provides FTP access so you can easily upload and retrieve files without going through the web application.

How to enable SDM FTP

FTP access must be activated at two levels:

  • Organization level: Mak sure the Ftp allowed checkbox is enabled

  • User level, check “ftp allowed”

Connecting to SDM FTP

  • Connect to ftp.sdm.akeneo.cloud (ftp + environment URL) and the username and password that you use to connect to the app.
  • Once connected to the FTP you should be seeing 2 directories inputs and outputs
  • Navigate to the inputs directory. You should see a list of all the projects in your organization as directories. Simply drop an input file (CSV or XLS) in a directory to trigger a job creation for that project.

FTP Jobs do not support medias, and will only accept CSV or XLS files.

 

Retrieving the outputs of a job through FTP

Similarly, the outputs directory lists all the existing projects in your organization. If you navigate to one of them you should be able to download all of the output files created for the jobs of that project.
