51����

As 51���� has limited ability to customize automated emails that GoAnywhere (SFTP account management software) sends out when new SFTP accounts are created, please review the following for important supplemental information:

If you have an existing proxy 51���� SFTP GoAnywhere account, you will NOT receive a new email when new SFTP permissions have been granted to you.��You will simply see any new/additional folders the next time you log in to the 51���� GoAnywhere SFTP page.��

All NEW users��granted first-time access to a 51���� GoAnywhere SFTP account should:

1. Click on the link “Click here to access the folder” in the email from SED File Transfer Manager <GoAnywhere@nysed.gov> to open the account creation screen for your GoAnywhere SFTP account. (Note: This email address is only used for sending automated emails from the system and responses sent to it will not be responded to.)

   This invitation link will expire 2 weeks after it is sent. If you try to create your account after this window you will receive an error. If this happens please request a new invite from your 51���� contact person indicated in the invite first line "A folder has been shared with you by (Name of 51���� contact person)."

2. You will be prompted to create a new account with a user name and password.
   1. User name can be anything that you want.
   2. Password Requirements:

      Create a new permanent password that meets the following requirements.

      Minimum Password Length is��8

      Minimum Number of Upper Case Letters is��1

      Minimum Number of Lower Case Letters is��1

      Minimum Number of Digits is��1

      Minimum Number of Special Characters is��None

      Allowable Special Characters are��~@#$%^&*()-_=+<>?/\;:[]{},.

      Note:��You may receive additional emails stating that you were invited to another folder and you should treat these emails as notifications for the additional folder access that you were granted. You do not have to take any action with these emails after completing the account creation process with first folder invite from SED File Transfer Manager <GoAnywhere@nysed.gov>.

3. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE EMAIL BELOW UNTIL YOUR ACCOUNT IS APPROVED. PLEASE DO NOT CLICK THE "CLICK HERE TO ACCESS FOLDER" LINK AGAIN. IT WILL CREATE A DUPLICATE ACCOUNT.
4. Look for the email sent from SED File Transfer Manager <GoAnywhere@nysed.gov>��containing the following:
   • The UID of the account that was created
   • "Your account has been created successfully"
   • "Your user name is:��[your_email@yourOrganization.org]
5. You should now be able to log into the 51���� GoAnywhere SFTP page with the Username and Password you created in step 1.��

Once a first-time account-holder has confirmed��her/his account��and changed the password through the GoAnywhere web interface, s/he may then choose either to

• continue to access designated folders through the 51���� SFTP GoAnywhere Web interface (URL above), or
• connect to the 51���� SFTP server using their institution's chosen SFTP client software.��

PLEASE NOTE: All requests for accounts to share files with the 51���� Office of Information and Reporting Services��must be sent by a Level 1 Project Manager (or CEO) to��datasupport@nysed.gov��with the intended account-holder’s name and email address, a list of project folders to which the account-holder will be permitted access, and “51���� SFTP proxy account access request”��in the BODY��of the email.
