Setting FTP Folders

LeaseAccelerator allows clients to designate an SFTP folder for each ledger. This means that clients may configure all outbound integration files (ledger entries, due payments, account balances, etc.) pertaining to a specific ledger to be posted in a separate folder.

The benefits of having a separate folder for each ledger (or even a separate FTP server) depend on the IT organization structure globally and the security and data protection strategy applied at the client.

For example, a client may configure LeaseAccelerator to post all ledger entries for North America on a different server than ledger entries for EMEA and so on.

This allows segregation of data, better control, and security to protect data from possible intentional / unintentional unauthorized access.

For inbound integration, each client can only have one folder whereby Lease Accounting Manger will monitor this folder and consume any detected files then delete them.

FTP setup for outbound file transfer

LeaseAccelerator can post generated outbound integration files into a client hosted SFTP server (Secured File Transfer Protocol). LeaseAccelerator does not host nor maintain an SFTP server.

Prerequisites:

• The user must have privileges to access LeaseAccelerator system settings.

• The user must have already created the target folders on the designated SFTP servers.

• The user must have the PgP encryption key (if needed).

LeaseAccelerator supports PgP encryption of exported files.

These settings are to be done once for each ledger. However, users can update the information as needed.

SFTP folder configuration steps:

1. Go to “settings” (the top right corner).

2. Select “Ledger Number.” LeaseAccelerator will display a list of defined ledgers.

3. On the list of ledgers, click the button to the left of the selected ledger.

4. Choose “Enable Integration with”

5. Input SFTP server and folder data.

6. Input credentials (either ID and Password) or a Private Key and a pass phrase.

7. PgP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption keys (if needed).

8. Once you enter the server, user, private authentication key, public encryption key and folder, you should be able to test the transfer. On the Settings -> Ledger Number screen you have to hit the “Save” button for the Ledger and then the “Save” button on the Ledger Number screen to save all changes.

Note: The client generates the public/private key pair, configures their FTP server to associate the public key with a user, and then enters the private key in LeaseAccelerator -> Settings -> Ledger Number screen.
