# FTP/SFTP Connector

Synchronize your users via CSV file on a server.

You have the option to add an FTP/SFTP connector to manage your users automatically via a CSV file stored on an FTP or SFTP server.

## **❶** What is FTP / SFTP?

### 🔹 FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

A protocol that allows you to upload, retrieve, or modify files on a remote server.  
In our case: you upload a **CSV file** into an FTP folder, and Signitic will handle it automatically.

Example of software to interact with an FTP server: **FileZilla**.

### 🔒 SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)

Secure variant of FTP, using an **encrypted connection via SSH**.  
Recommended if your data is sensitive.

## **❷** The 3 configuration tabs

### **Connection**

Configure server access:

-   Protocol
    
-   Server address
    
-   Port
    
-   Path to the CSV file
    
-   User / Private key

## **❸** Mapping

Manually define the correspondence between your CSV headers and Signitic attributes.  
💡 By default, the expected structure is the same as that of a **Signitic CSV export**.
