The Sources Page
Use the Sources page to view and manage the FTP and SFTP sources available to ECP Data Bridge.
The Sources page opens after you sign in to the ECP Data Bridge local UI. The page lists the configured sources and indicates the current connection status of each source.
When no sources have been configured, the page displays an empty list. Use Add Source to configure the first source.
Columns
The following information is available for each configured source:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
|
Source Name |
The unique name assigned to the source. |
|
Host IP |
The IP address used to connect to the source server. |
|
Username |
The username used to authenticate with the source server. |
|
Source Folder |
The folder that ECP Data Bridge uses as the starting location when browsing and downloading files. |
|
Status |
The result of the most recent connection test. |
|
Actions |
The operations available for the source. |
Source statuses
The source status reflects the result of the most recent connection test.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
|
Connected |
ECP Data Bridge successfully connected to the source using the configured connection information. |
|
Not Connected |
ECP Data Bridge could not connect to the source during the most recent test. |
|
Not Tested |
The source has been saved, but its connection has not yet been tested. |
Testing the connection validates access to the source server. It does not verify that the configured source folder exists. Use Check Folder to validate the source folder separately.
