The Transfer Window

The transfer window opens with Transfer files between My Vault and My Computer, or from a VM. Its header reads "Transfer files between My Vault and My Computer", or "...and VM name" when you open it from a VM. The Vault is on one side and your computer or the VM on the other. The Change layout button at the top right switches between side-by-side and stacked panels. The window opens stacked when it is narrower than 1000 pixels, and tiCrypt remembers where you leave the divider.

Besides dragging, you can select Vault items, click Open full menu, and select Transfer. The items go to the folder open on the other side. Transfer appears only when you can download files, the selected folders' projects are active, and the open destination can receive files. A read-only drive, such as a cloud service drive, refuses with an error.

Every transfer asks for confirmation first. The title reads "Download items to your computer?", "Upload items to the Vault?", or "Transfer items to VM?" or "...to the Vault?" for a VM, and the prompt shows a preview tree of what will move, whose folders open as you click them. A transfer into the Vault also checks your storage allowance, as described in Upload.

Select Credential Provider

Must select a provider

Select Provider

In the Create Credentials pop-up, select one of the available cloud providers, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or Box. To connect an SFTP server, use Connect to SFTP server under My Computer instead. See SFTP Connections.

The Credentials tab lists your credentials with the columns Name, Email, Country, Provider and Total Drives. When it is empty, it says there are no credentials to show and points you to Create new credential. While Create Credentials waits for the provider, it shows "Authenticating with provider".

To sign out of an account, select it in the Credentials tab and choose Logout from Open full menu. Logout acts at once, without confirmation, and runs the task "Logout from n accounts". If it fails, the message "Failed to logout name" appears.

Set Up Drives Destined for Transfer

1. Go to the Vault icon in the top left panel.
2. In the left panel, click the settings button next to My Computer.
3. In the new window, select Drives.
4. Tick the drives to mount.
5. Click Mount in the top right panel.

The Drives tab lists your drives with the columns Email, Name, Provider and Mounted. Mounted drives show on a green row and unmounted ones on a red row. Mount appears only when every selected drive is unmounted, and Unmount only when every selected drive is mounted. The tasks read "Mount n drives" and "Unmount n drives", and a failure shows "Failed to mount name" or "Failed to unmount name". When the tab is empty, it reads "No drives to show; create a new drive from credentials menu."

Remove Drives Destined for Transfer

1. Go to the Vault icon in the top left panel.
2. In the left panel, click the settings button next to My Computer.
3. In the new window, select Drives.

5. Click Unmount in the top right panel.

Choose Credentials and Drives for a Cloud Service

Add new cloud service and Connect to SFTP server open a two-step pop-up. Both are greyed out when tiCrypt Connect cannot be reached or offers no provider of that kind.

• Select provider credentials: lists each set of credentials you already linked for that provider, as "name ( email )" with "n drive(s) attached.". Click a card to use it, or click Add a new set of provider credentials to link another account.
• Select provider drives: when the account has several drives, the pop-up reads "Multiple drives from provider are available. Select at least one to link to tiCrypt." Tick the drives to mount.
• Buttons: Cancel closes the pop-up without changes. The main button reads Login, Accept or Next depending on the step. Next closes the pop-up and opens the transfer window.
• Delete credential: the trash button on a credential card removes those credentials at once, without confirmation, and first unmounts the mounted drives of that provider.

caution

To prevent data exfiltration, files can only be transferred from Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive to your Vault, not the other way around. The same applies to SFTP inbound. The only connection that can send Vault files out is SFTP bidirectional, and only to a server a Super-admin has allowlisted for you. See SFTP Connections.

Transfer from an SFTP Server to the Vault

bulk-action

An SFTP connection links tiCrypt Connect on your computer to an SFTP server where you have an account. SFTP inbound only pulls files into the Vault and works with any server you can reach. SFTP bidirectional can also push files to a server a Super-admin has approved. For the differences, pushing files out, and disconnecting, see SFTP Connections.

1. Go to the Vault icon in the top left panel.
2. In the left panel, under My Computer, click Connect to SFTP server.
3. Select SFTP inbound.
4. In the pop-up, click Add a new set of SFTP inbound credentials.
5. Enter the server's Host, your Username and Password on that server, and the Port if it is not 22.
6. Click Login.
7. Make sure the SFTP drive is ticked, click Accept, then click Next.
8. In the Transfer files between My Vault and My Computer window, open the SFTP drive in the right panel.
9. Drag-and-drop the file(s) from the right panel into the Vault in the left panel.
10. In the pop-up, click Upload.

Result:

The files appear in the Vault directory you dropped them on, encrypted like any other upload. The files on the SFTP server are unchanged.

Confirmations, Errors & Solutions

Enter Server, Username, and Password

Select an SFTP server as the data endpoint, then enter your username and password. There is no need to specify a host port because port 22 is used by default.

Enter Details in SFTP inbound to Connect

In the new window, enter your Host, Username, and Password to log in. Although the text says no port is needed, the SFTP inbound form has a Port field. It defaults to 22; change it if your server listens on another port.

Invalid SFTP Form

Invalid SFTP form

Redo Form

Re-enter the information in the form.

Could not connect to SFTP server

Could not connect to SFTP server

Check the Server Details and Your Network

Check the host, port, user name and password. tiCrypt Connect opens the connection from your computer, so your network or VPN must be able to reach the server. The account belongs to whoever runs the SFTP server; ask them if your password is refused. For more causes, see SFTP Connections.
