    Question

    What is the MFT address for uploading library content to Summon?

    Answer

    Summon now supports the MFT (Managed File Transfer) platform for transferring local data. Ex Libris MFT only supports access by username and RSA key. Visit the Ex Libris Cloud MFT User Guide for Summon and 360 Services article for more information on this process.

    MFT Requirements:

    1. An SFTP client such as FileZilla or WinSCP. Connecting to SFTP via Bash Shell or Integrated Library System is also supported

    2. Username, Hostname, RSA key, and Port Number (please contact us via the Support Portal to have this information resent if you do not have it)

    3. A file named properly per Summon: Catalog File Naming Convention

    Note: Updates and deletes process automatically.  In case of a full load, please follow the instructions detailed in this article.
