Thank you for your feedback
Supports encryption (PGP) and compression. To use PGP Encryption, clients need to provide you with their KeyID and public key (we would like them to create the keys). The client should let you know if the key should be “signed” by Infinite. If so, then you will need to provide the client with Infinite’s public key (obtained from Hosting).
If the client is using their FTP site, the DIT will upload the reports to their site. The client will need to provide us with the information highlighted in the FTP settings table below. If they plan on using FTPS, then the client’s certificate must be given to our hosting team (to be installed on our servers).
Infinite uses the Binary transport type for DIT FTP. Therefore, when downloading DIT files from an FTP site, users need to be sure that they are downloading as Binary and NOT ASCII or Auto selection; even though the files might be CSV.
