# MDP Upload Files Using FTPS or SFTP

This method allows you to upload files into a TotalConnect data stream by using an FTPS or SFTP connection. Available for TotalConnect Data Streams

1. Navigate to the **Import** tab.
2. Expand **Data Streams List**.
3. Select the data stream that you want to modify.
4. At the top right-hand corner of the page, click **Automate Data Refresh**.
    
    ![Refresh data streams with ftp details](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mcidp-264-0-0-production-enus/6ea21a7c-b623-43b5-9bb1-3174d8e8301e/mcidp/images/data_streams_refresh_ftp.png)
    
    1. Click **Copy FTPS/SFTP Details**.
    2. Decide if you’re using FTPS or SFTP, and then add the unique details to the designated location in your external FTPS/FTPS service to send files to this data stream. Your data is refreshed every time a file is sent.
        
        If you’re using the same FTPS/SFTP client to send multiple files to multiple different data streams in the same workspace, it’s advisable to add a “$” and the data stream’s unique ID after the FTPS/SFTP user. For example, tgornenska@salesforce.com$123456. These additions ensure that your files are sent to the correct data stream in your workspace, because sometimes FTPS/SFTP clients cache your FTPS/SFTP username and password.
