To access files on the secure FTP site at SDCOE, you must have an FTP client that supports either SFTP or FTPS, or both. The SDCOE CRC recommends that you use FileZilla, a free FTP program for file uploading and downloading to and from your FTP site, server, or host. To create and access and FTP site, follow Parts A, B, and C below.
Download the version appropriate for your platform (Windows, Mac, or Linux).
Install it.
B. Configure the FTP site
Before you do these steps, make sure that SDCOE gave you the host, port, username, and password.
Launch Filezilla. After you have installed it, it should appear under your Start menu.
At the top of the screen, click directly on the first icon to open the Site Manager. (If you are using a Mac, click File > Site Manager.)
Click New Site. Enter a name that makes sense to you. The name should indicate the purpose of the site. Down the road, you might have various FTP sites to access different files.
Enter the host, port, protocol (SFTP), logon type (Normal), username, and password provided to you by SDCOE. These are highlighted in yellow below.
Click OK. This will save the settings.
C. Access your FTP site
Launch Filezilla. After you have installed it, it should appear under your Start menu.
At the top of the screen, click the arrow on the Site Manger (first icon) to see a list of your FTP sites. Select the desired FTP site.
You should connect to the FTP site and see any files placed on the site. If you have problems connecting to the site, go back to the Site Manager and check the settings entered on Part B, Step 4. For further assistance, please call the SDCOE CRC at (800) 289-1500.

Sandboxes are for use at your district to practice in a "play" environment. Available from work only. Not available via SecureAuth. Effective May 27, 2018, Sandboxes will be refreshed from Production bi-weekly Sundays. Dates of Sandbox refreshes are on the PeopleSoft Support Calendar. After each refresh, log in with your Production credentials as of the refresh date.
The PeopleSoft Finance Sandbox (SDFX) and HCM Sandbox (SDHX) are environments you can access from work (on the SDCOE network) to practice tasks. The PeopleSoft Sandboxes are copies of your district's Production environments. Login using your User ID and Password as you do in Production. Please note that Sandbox environments are not supported.
Check the status (up/down) of Production environments, issues and dates of scheduled maintenance.
