IP whitelisting

Access to all protocols from remote clients is granted based on IP whitelisting.

If a remote client's IP address is on the whitelist, it will get a chance to authenticate itself; otherwise it won't.

For your information, our IP ranges are:

  • 195.66.115.0/24
  • 217.111.214.96/28

Authentication

Authentication is performed either by username and password, or by client certificate authentication.

Uploading files

Make sure to upload your files with the file extension .filepart or .lock to prevent premature pick-up.

For every customer node you're connected with, you'll find a folder on the Montova FTP/SFTP server.

  <your home folder>/<customer node CSN>,<customer node name>

Files to be sent to a customer node should be uploaded to that customer node's "outbound" folder:

  <your home folder>/<customer node CSN>,<customer node name>/outbound

Required information

  • Your SFTP server details
    • Hostname
    • Port
    • Username
    • Password (if publickey authentication isn't used)
  • Folder to upload your inbound files to
  • IP ranges from which your SFTP client will connect

Required actions on your end

You'll need to open up your firewall to the IP ranges listed in the IP whitelisting section.
