MediaSite 7.2.2 and SFTP

Users on MediaSite version 7.2.2 will see that SFTP is an option (it is not required) when adding a new audio transcription profile within MediaSite. Please note that the credentials displayed within the 3Play Media account system for setting up a MediaSite integration are for the FTP option not SFTP.

If your organization requires SFTP, please contact 3Play Media Support with the FTP username listed on the MediaSite integration setup page within your 3Play Media project to obtain an SSH key.  Your SSH key will be delivered via email, so please include the email address you wish to receive it at.

If your organization does not require SFTP, please use these instructions instead to setup your MediaSite integration.  Otherwise, proceed with the following steps once you have received an SSH key from 3Play Media Support:

Step 1- Copy SSH Key from Email

Copy the entire body of the email that contains the key including:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----


-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

SSH Key to be copied

Step 2- Save SSH Key in a TXT File
