BrickFTP for File Transfers

To make file transfers easier for all, Scribe has adopted BrickFTP (https://brickftp.com/) for file transfers. Files can be accessed through a web interface or an FTP program such as FileZilla or Cyberduck. There is one account per organization. Every organization's login name consists of the Scribe client code with "-scribe" appended. For an organization with a client code of ABC, that would be "ABC-scribe." If you need an account created, simply contact us, and we can provide this to you.

BrickFTP offers a number of beneficial features, including a robust web interface and fine-grained file system controls. As of Monday evening on May 2, our current FTP will be deprecated and you can begin using BrickFTP for exchanging files with us.
