Secure Data Transfers

If you’re transferring data to us, you need to make sure it’s done efficiently and securely. We offer a number of different methods to secure data transfers that meet your needs.

Website

Transferring files via our website is the easiest way for occasional transfers. Use our Data8 Online Portal system for self-service data cleansing requirements, or upload a file to your Manual Files area in the dashboard to send it to our Professional Services team

SFTP

Basic Details
We support data transfers via the secure SFTP protocol. We do not support the insecure FTP protocol. Using compatible software you can connect to our server at:
Server ftp.data-8.co.uk
SFTP Port 22
You can use the same username and password to log in to the SFTP server as you use for the website. Alternatively, open the SFTP settings in the Manual Files area and you can use public key authentication with SFTP. Users are not automatically enabled to access the SFTP server – please contact us to enable individual users for this service.

SFTP uses many different algorithms to keep your data secure. These algorithms can change on a regular basis as new ones are added and older ones are removed when they no longer provide adequate protection. To ensure your data remains secure we may make changes to the supported algorithms at any time.

For best security, please ensure your SFTP software enforces host key validation and that only the host keys listed below are allowed. If you receive any other host key, this can indicate that you are not connecting to the expected server and you may be transferring your data to another company or individual.
