Step 2

To create a connection with the server, simply enter the relevant host details below:

PRODUCTION: 212.124.224.188

Port Number: 22

 

Then simply enter your Basware username and password that you use to access the system. NOTE: You need to have the supplier administrator role in order to do this

 

Step 3

Once you have a successful connection, you can start selecting your image files by using the directory tree to navigate through your local machine.

 

Once you have selected your images, these will transfer over onto the server. NOTE: This may take some time depending on connection speeds etc.
