xFlow FTP Setup
To deliver PDF files to Canvasflow via FTP, you will require an Access Key ID, a Secret Key and a Remote Path. This information will be provided to you by the Canvasflow support team upon request. The two keys must be used together to authenticate requests to the appropriate remote path.
The structure will look similar to the below:
Access Key ID: BKIA9SPMJHIEZF4WYOSO
Secret Access Key: 1Sq7abcdCVjcXn/Rq2hP6Cgj2HE+ef+asMjy+vYu
Remote Path: /canvasflow-remote-path
