Technical requirements
An FTP client that supports TLS encrypted FTP is required to transfer the WebModel to the viflow cloud. In these instructions, the procedure is described using the FTP program WinSCP , with which it is possible to trigger and automatically carry out the upload process when exporting the WebModel.
You can download WinSCP here: ››› https://winscp.net/eng/download.php
If you use other FTP software, you have to export and enter the access data manually. In this case, please contact your administrator.
The following ports must be enabled for uploading the WebModel to the viflow cloud.
- TCP 21 and
- TCP 1025-1048
Saving the configuration files
With the order confirmation you will receive two files and the address for calling up the WebModel in the cloud:
- Address for Coud access: http://webmodel.viflow.cloud/IHREKUNDENNUMMER/
- credentials.json
- upload.js
Copy the credentials.json and upload.js files to the WebModel target directory. The directory should be local to your PC (recommended) and empty (e.g. C:\Desktop\YourName\viflow\WebModel).
