SmartFTP | Zata Docs

SmartFTP is a file transfer app for Windows. Its S3 protocol connects to Zata, so you can drag and drop files to and from a bucket.

Before you start

A bucket — see Create a bucket.
An access key from the same region as the bucket — see Access keys.
SmartFTP installed — download SmartFTP.

Connection settings

Setting	Value
Protocol	S3, with Custom in the list below it
Host	`idr01.zata.ai` for Indore, `bom01.zata.ai` for Mumbai — no `https://`
Port	`443`
Path	optional — `/my-bucket` to open one bucket directly. Needed for sub-user keys.
Access Key Id / Secret Access Key	from Access Keys in the Zata console — the key must be from the same region as the bucket

Set up SmartFTP

Open a new connection

Open SmartFTP and start a new connection (File → Connection, or press Ctrl+N).

Test it

Select Upload, or drag a small file into the bucket. Check that it appears in the same bucket in the Zata console under Buckets. Then drag it back to a local folder to check that downloads work.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Error listing buckets, or access denied at the top level	Your key cannot list all buckets (for example a sub-user key). Set Path to `/my-bucket`.
Cannot connect	Check that Host matches the region of your key and Port is `443`.
Invalid credentials	Copy the keys again from Access Keys, without extra spaces.

For other errors, see Access denied and Endpoint and region.
