Product Update
Change to FTP Site
On Thursday, April 20 our Engineering Team migrated the FTP site where you upload your assessment files to an FTP hosted by AWS. As a result of this migration, you will now use ftp.elevate-analytics.instructure.com as the URL to access your files. Folder structure, username and passwords will remain the same. You are no longer able to access the old URL and there will be no redirect.
If you have any questions or experience any issues, please contact our support team at analytics-support@instructure.com.
