Q: Can BEACON accept import files through an FTP site?
A: Yes, BEACON supports FTP-based file imports. This allows you to securely upload Data Exchange system sync files, also known as Accounts and Assets files, to use either our hosted FTP site or your own FTP site. Our Software Services Team can help configure the system. An additional fee is required. Please contact your BEACON sales representative for more details.
