How to Integrate FTP with vFairs for Automated Custom Report Delivery

Learn how to connect your FTP server with vFairs to automatically receive custom CSV reports. This step-by-step guide details the FTP export setup screen, ensuring that your reports are securely delivered to your server on a scheduled basis

Navigating to the FTP Integration Setup

To access the FTP Export integration:

  • Log in to the backend dashboard.
  • From the left menu, scroll to Integrations.
  • Select the FTP integration app.
  • Hit Launch Setup to begin.

1. FTP Credentials

To begin, enter your FTP server details. This authenticates your account and allows vFairs to securely transmit files.

  • Server URL: Enter your full FTP server address.
  • Port Number: The default FTP port is 21, but ensure this matches your server configuration.
  • User Name & Password: Supply the credentials for an authorized FTP user account.
  • Remote Directory Path (Optional): If you want the reports stored in a specific subfolder, specify the directory path here.
  • Make sure your firewall allows passive ports (typically 10000–10003) as noted on the setup screen.

2. Reports: Select Custom Reports

Specify which custom reports you’d like delivered to your FTP server.

  • Select Reports: Choose one or more custom CSV reports from the dropdown menu. All selected reports will be included in each export batch.
  • You may update your selection at any time to meet your evolving reporting needs.

3. Enable Automated Daily Exports & Date Range

Automate the delivery of your reports and define the coverage window.

  • Enable Automated Exports: Toggle the switch to activate scheduled daily exports.
  • Start & End Date (if available): Some configurations allow date-range scheduling for precise control.
  • Exports occur every 24 hours while automation is enabled for the selected range.

Finalizing Setup

  • Once you've filled in all fields, use the Test Connection button to verify your FTP credentials and connectivity.
  • When the test is successful, finalize your configuration by clicking Complete Setup.
  • Automated exports will now begin based on your preferences.
