Vantage delivers large skill transfers through an SFTP shared folder instead of a direct browser download or upload.
  • When you export a skill with a large document set (more than 100 documents), Vantage emails you a link to the folder. Credentials are embedded in the link, so no separate username or password is needed.
  • When you import a skill archive larger than 2 GB, Vantage shows a dialog box with the folder link and its credentials.
The shared folder stays active for 14 days, then it is deleted. Open it with any SFTP client, either a graphical client or the command-line client.

​
Connect with a graphical client

A graphical client is the easiest option if you do not work with the command line.
1

Install an SFTP client

Install and launch any SFTP client, such as FileZilla or WinSCP.
2

Enter the folder link

Paste the shared-folder link that Vantage provided into the Host field.
3

Enter credentials if prompted

For an export, the credentials are embedded in the emailed link, so the client connects without a separate login. For an import, enter the username and password shown in the import dialog box.
4

Connect and trust the host

Click Connect. In the confirmation dialog box, click OK to trust the host. The shared folder appears in the client’s remote folder pane.

​
Connect with the command-line client

If you prefer the terminal, connect with the sftp command, using the host and credentials that Vantage provided in the export link or the import dialog box.

​
Download an exported skill

The shared folder contains a single ZIP archive, the same package as a direct download. Download the archive, then import it as-is without extracting it. For more information, see Import a skill.

​
Upload a skill to import

Upload the single ZIP archive to the shared folder. Vantage imports the skill automatically and then deletes the archive from the folder. Only one skill can be imported per folder. Any files uploaded afterward are moved to an exception folder.
