Home - Securly Home FTP Setup Guide

To begin sending weekly email reports to parents about their kids' online activity on school-owned devices, you need to establish the parent-student relationship by uploading a CSV mapping parents and students.

You can upload the CSV either via the Admin UI or FTP*. To avoid CSV errors, please follow the guidelines here.

To upload via FTP, you will first need to set up your FTP account:

1. Login to Securly Home and navigate to Parents.
2. a. If you are an existing parent portal user and have already uploaded a parent CSV file previously, you can click on the ‘ Set Up/Configure FTP’ option from the three-dot menu on the top right corner. 
   
   
3. b. If you are a new user, you will first need to upload a parent CSV file via web upload. 
   
   
4. Click on ‘Create FTP Account’.  Note that you cannot go back to the web upload once you sign up for the FTP upload.                                                                                     

5. Your username will be created by the system. You can set your password and click on 'Set up'. Note that the password should consist of at least eight characters.

   After you click on Set up, your FTP account will be created and an article will be linked to help you configure FTP client. Once you are done reviewing, just hit the Done button.
   
   

Note that if you encounter problems connecting to the SFTP server, please check your firewall settings to ensure that you have allowed connection to securly.brickftp.com over outbound port tcp/22.

You are now all set to begin using your FTP account to manage your parent CSV files. To learn how to upload a file via FTP, follow the guidelines here.
