General Page
ECuRep offers various secure methods for transmitting data to IBM, with the file size influencing the available options. For encrypted data transmission, you can use HTTPS, FTPS (FTP over TLS), or SFTP (Secure FTP (SSH)). All servers require authentication.
For web access, use your IBMid to authenticate. For FTPS and SFTP servers, create an IBM Support File Transfer ID . This ID remains valid until revoked, and the password is only shown during creation. If you lose the password, you must delete the ID and create a new one.
In case of potential or confirmed security exposures, IBM may modify the client-facing server's security settings, such as encryption protocols and cipher suites, without prior notice.
