SFTP Connections

Aeropay SFTP Site

Aeropay provides the option to access transaction data via SFTP. You can work with your Aeropay representative to customize what data you'd like shared via SFTP and on what cadence.

Default SFTP Reports

By default, Aeropay will generate and share daily reports for the following data:

1. ACH batch report includes transaction data for each batch of new or updated transactions
2. ACH returns report includes data on ACH returns on your platform
3. RTP payment report is a specific report of only RTP transactions

Your Credentials

Aeropay will provide your team with your username, password, and url when we setup your SFTP connection. If you do not have access to your SFTP credentials yet, please contact your Aeropay representative or email [email protected].

Accessing Aeropay SFTP

To access Aeropay's SFTP site and your data, you'll want to use an SFTP client to connect to the site. The Mac terminal has an SFTP client built into the Terminal. Applications like FileZilla are easy-to-use clients with a UI.

For the Mac Terminal, you just open a Terminal and follow these steps:

1. Run sftp username@clientSFTPurl.
2. If it asks to add a host to the authorized host files, type yes.
3. Input your given SFTP password.
4. Now you should be logged in to the SFTP site.
5. You can run ls to list the files and folders in the current directory, cd <foldername> to enter a subfolder, and run get <filename> to download a file off the SFTP site. The file system has YEAR > MONTH > DAY. So for May 01, 2024 you'd need to cd 2024/05/01.

For FileZilla, follow the steps in FileZilla's documentation here.
