SFTP Setup Instructions

This article provides instructions for configuring SFTP import in SchoolMint Hero. 

1. Log into SchoolMint Hero (Note: This user must have access to SFTP/Account Management)
2. Click on Config > Imports in the Navigation bar

3. Click on the Accounts button in the upper right corner

4. Click on the + New Account button in the upper right corner

5. Confirm your School Choice and click + Create

6. Next, you will be given your SFTP Credentials, as well as the Host/IP and the port number for SFTP data transfers. You can copy or download these credentials. 

Heads Up! We strongly recommend saving this password at this point. If you forget your password and reset it later on, it will break the current import. If you do need to reset the password, you will need to re-enter it on your export system to maintain a current import.

7. Use these credentials to create your export job in your SIS and upload the files to our SFTP.

The SchoolMint Hero import will need:

1. 1. • A Student File
      • A Schedule File
      • A User (Staff) File

Learn more about the data you will export here: SFTP Data Mapping

Note: The files must be placed in a folder called “imports” on the SFTP.

8. Once these files have been uploaded, click the Settings button found in Config > Imports. 

9. On the next page, click the + New Import button in the upper right corner. 

10. For next steps, follow instructions on this article: Mapping Student Data beginning on Step 6.
