File Transmission Configuration section

Use this section to set up file transmission configuration data for eTranscripts transactions. This configuration automates the sending of the electronic PDF output after it is generated. The values used are defined during the upgrade and installation process.

The identify file referenced in the SSH Directory and Passphrase fields is the private key that resides on the application server. After the public/private key pair is generated, the public key is sent to the vendor.

Fields Descriptions
Host Name Name of the host where the eTranscript will be sent using the SFTP process, such as ftps.nslc.org. This is provided by the vendor.
Username Name used for the SFTP account. This is provided by the vendor.
SSH Directory Directory location of the identity file used for the SFTP process.

When an ending slash is missing in the SSH Directory field value, the SFTP process for SHRETRN will fail. You must open the .log file for the specific SHRETRN job to find the error. Be sure to add the ending slash to the value in the field to avoid this error.

Also be sure that the correct ending slash is used, / for Linux or \ for Windows, depending on the platform on which the job submission server is running.

Passphrase Encrypted passphrase for the identify file used for the SFTP process. This is displayed as ******** (asterisks). Optional.
Remote Directory Location of destination folder for eTranscripts. For example, Inbox will become Inbox/YourInstitution. The field is populated by the SHBTETC_REMOTE_DIRECTORY column.

This field is used when eTranscripts are processed through the Parchment vendor.
