# Create an SFTP Account

Send and receive data from an automated platform safely and securely using ETL Integration. After you create an SFTP account, add the credentials to your FTP client.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small permission">
        <colgroup>
          <col style="width:50%">
          <col style="width:50%">
        </colgroup>
        <thead class="slds-text-title_caps ">
          <tr class="">
            <th scope="colgroup" class="slds-cell-wrap" colspan="2" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:top;" id="d36308e38">Permissions Needed</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <tr class="">
            <td data-label="Permissions Needed" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d36308e38 ">To create an SFTP account:</td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d36308e38 ">Administrator permissions</td>

          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>

1. From the main navigation, select **Security** | **Manage SFTP Configuration**.
2. On the **SFTP Users** tab, click **Create SFTP User**.
3. Add a label. The label appears only on the Manage SFTP Users screen.

    Note You can select only one dataset per user. If you access SFTP from more than one dataset, create multiple users. For example, you can set up separate SFTP access for your development and production environments.
5. Save the URL, username, and password for the account by clicking **Download CSV File**. If you forget the username and password, you must create another SFTP account.
6. Copy your username, password, and SFTP login URL to your FTP client.
7. After you copy the username and password, click **Close**. The SFTP login URL is listed in the **SFTP Login URL** field on the **Manage SFTP Users** screen.
