SFTP Accounts

You can create an SFTP connection to a server of yours to store generated reports, which are distributed by email. Reports are sent to the SFTP server that you select in the custom report template schedule, just like any other report recipient. If you run a custom report manually (outside of the schedule), the report is not sent to the SFTP server. When configuring the SFTP account, the specifications of the server must be in the form of a reachable IP address, or URL set up for inbound SFTP traffic. Do not configure an SFTP connection to NICE CXone FTP servers.

By default, CXone sends reports with the "noreply@niceincontact.com" email address. To avoid these emailed reports from getting blocked, you can create a custom address that your system will not filter. For example, the Classics, Inc. Contact Center could create a "noreply@classics.com" address. Contact your CXone Account Representative for assistance with this feature.

When creating an SFTP account in CXone, you can test the connection with the SFTP server. Expand the drop-down below for information on any errors that the test may give.
