Vocado U.S. Department of Education Gateway
Messages and Files sent from the US Department of Education (ED) via the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) are sent to the Vocado US Department of Education Gateway (VUG) application.
Institutional Student Information Reports (ISIRs) and National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) financial aid history information files are flat files that must be saved with a .dat extension. Files from Common Origination and Disbursements (COD) are xml payloads and must be saved with a .xml extension.

curl -ki -X POST -u 'user:password' --key fasapi -F "file=@/Users/Username/Desktop/student/idap20op-a.dat" https://sfp.ocs.oraclecloud.com/customer/vug/in/publish
