In order to transfer your data to Semble from your previous system or from your local

computer, we recommend that you use the Semble Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). An SFTP is a network protocol for securely accessing, transferring and managing large files and sensitive data.

Important to note: Never send data to us by email as this is not a secure method and could be considered as a data breach for us.

In this article:


Requirements

  1. Download FileZilla, a file transfer program to enable you to connect to the Semble SFTP.

  2. Gather your credentials

    1. Host Address: sftp.semble.io

    2. Username: The unique practice ID provided by Semble

    3. Key File: A downloadable .pem file which will be sent to you via an encrypted email

If you have not received all of the above, then contact the Migrations team at: support@semble.io
