moodcase does not provide its own SFTP server. You use your own SFTP server or an external provider for this purpose.
Requirements
You need an SFTP server with the following access data:
Host
Username
Password
Port
Path to the upload folder
Port 22 is normally used for SFTP.
Important: Use SFTP, not FTP. SFTP is encrypted, more reliable, and better suited for automatic image import.
Preparing the SFTP server
First, set up an SFTP server.
For example, you can use your existing hosting provider or an external SFTP service.
Examples of possible providers:
metanet
Hetzner Storage Box
SFTPCloud
The SFTP server is operated by you or your provider. moodcase is only responsible for importing the images into moodcase.
Adding an SFTP connection in moodcase
Open moodcase.
Go to Settings.
Open FTP Import.
Click on Add connection.
Fill in the access data.
Fields
Display name
Choose a name that helps you identify which server is being used.
Host |
|
User |
|
Password | Enter the password. |
Port | Enter the port. For SFTP, this is usually |
Click on Add connection.
Testing the connection
After adding, you can test the connection.
Click on Test connection.
If the connection is valid, you can proceed.
If the connection is not valid, check the host, username, password, and port.
Activating SFTP import in a project
Once the connection is set up, you can assign it to a project.
Open the project where the images should be imported.
Open the Settings menu on the left.
Select the desired SFTP connection.
Define the path from which moodcase should import the images.
Save the settings.
From this point on, moodcase can import images from the defined SFTP folder into the project.
Uploading images
Upload the images to the SFTP server using your camera, your computer, or another tool.
moodcase then imports the images from the connected folder into the selected project.
Notes
Use SFTP instead of FTP whenever possible.
FTP is not encrypted and, depending on the server, may have limitations for parallel uploads. This can lead to files being skipped or uploads failing.
If you have problems with uploads, first check:
whether SFTP is actually being used
whether the port is correct
whether the username and password are correct
whether the upload path is correct
whether the SFTP server supports parallel connections
whether the camera or upload tool supports SFTP
Responsibility
moodcase imports images from the connected SFTP server.
The operation, availability, security, and configuration of the SFTP server are your responsibility or that of your provider.
