FTP Integration

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a way to move files from one computer to another. Utilising FTP with TCW can very advantageous for a number of reasons:

• Import to TCW

• Export from TCW to customer FTP

  • Original Documents

  • Annotated Documents

  • Document Reports

Multiple Upload Methods can be used in conjunction with FTP with the end point for all uploads being the customer FTP.

e.g Sent Via Email → Assessment in TCW → Customer FTP

Requirements

• SFTP site hosted by the customer or IT provider

• User account created for TCW

• A dedicated directory with full permissions enabled for TCW user account

• Whitelist our importer I.P address: 52.169.215.25

Then simply provide us with the Host, Username, password of the SFTP site and your preference of sorting.

Once the above has been provided we would configure the directory with a folder structure -
ToTCW and FromTCW

Sorting

Another feature available is inspection date and Document TAG sorting, for instance Contractor (Con:), this will dynamically create sub directories based on the tag name.

Available sorting options:

• Document Type

• Contractor

• Landlord

• Engineer

• Inspection month

• Compliance

Export after remedial action

When a result is resolved or a remedial action is closed in TCW, the compliance rating can change. To ensure exports are kept up-to date TCW can connect to the FTP, locate the original PDF at time of upload, remove then re-export the document to the relevant compliance rating to reflect the updated results.
