What to Do If File Transfers Do Not Resume After (S)FTP Maintenance
Introduction
During scheduled (S)FTP maintenance, file transfers may be paused temporarily. Normally, these transfers resume automatically once the service is restored. However, if your file transfers do not resume after maintenance, this guide will help you manually restart them to ensure continuous shipment tracking and supply chain visibility.
Issue Description
File transfers via (S)FTP are essential for updating shipment statuses and tracking information within our real-time supply chain visibility solutions. When they do not resume automatically after scheduled maintenance, it can cause delays in shipment tracking updates.
