Permission Level: Owner | District Manager
What is SFTP?
Secure File Transfer Protocol is a safe and secure method to transfer files over the Internet. SFTP uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to encrypt data when it is being sent and meets standards and best practices requirements for Student Data Privacy.
Step By Step:
1. Reach out to the Minga Support team at support@minga.io with the following:
- The name of your district
- The name of the school you are rostering
- The name and email address of the district contact responsible for SIS integrations
2. Fill out the Connection Request sent to you by the support team and email support@minga.io when it is completed. Our integration specialists will then set up your school and push a manual sync to populate your students, teachers, and class rosters.
3. Configure your Sync Settings and your class lists
