What are my options for data migration into tiCrypt?

Users have four options to transfer data into tiCrypt:

  • Upload via the browser into your Vault
  • Vault SFTP or Inbox Credentials
  • Direct SFTP transfer into the VM
  • External Cloud Services

Depending on factors such as the volume of data, existing workflows, and the current location of the data, users may opt for one or multiple methods to securely integrate data into the system.

Upload via the browser into your Vault​

Users can use this can use the browser to upload data directly into their Vault while logged into the tiCrypt system.

Vault SFTP or Inbox Credentials​

note

You can designate a specific folder in your Vault as an Inbox, creating a unique URL that includes exclusive SFTP credentials. This URL can be shared with your data provider, who, without requiring any special account, can use the provided credentials with their preferred SFTP client to transfer data directly into the designated Vault directory. Importantly, the files transferred through this process are encrypted with your unique public key, ensuring that only you and those explicitly granted access within tiCrypt can access and manage these files.

To create a new inbox navigate to the tab in the section.

  • Select an existing directory you want to turn into an inbox.
  • Click the Manage Inbox icon in the top right center.
  • Follow the instructions from create an inbox or create an SFTP inbox sections.
