SFTP Access

What is SFTP?

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a secure file transfer protocol that uses secure shell encryption to provide a high level of security for sending and receiving file transfers. To use SFTP, an SFTP client software is required to connect to an SFTP server, where files can be uploaded, stored, and retrieved in a downloadable format. An example of an SFTP client would be FileZilla. 

Why is it used in Movio Cinema?

Movio provides a dedicated FTP Dropbox which is an SFTP server hosted by Movio and can be used to update Contact Lists, CMMs or Tags. In addition, it can also be used to share sensitive information. 

Where to find the SFTP Dropbox access details?

The details required to access the SFTP are available in the SFTP Dropbox details section on the individual (Contact Lists, CMMs or Tags) pages of your Movio Cinema console. For example, you will be able to find it on the Contact Lists page:
