The Connect file system works in conjunction with the file system on Xactly’s SFTP server, connectftp.xactlycorp.com. An SFTP account is not required to use Connect’s file functions. You can access the Connect’s file system two ways:

By using Connect’s other xCL file functions (listed below)
Via an SFTP client connected to Xactly’s SFTP server, connectftp.xactlycorp.com. Xactly’s Customer Support team can setup SFTP account access for your business. Connect cannot access third party SFTP servers.

MakeDir’s root directory is the home directory of your business’ SFTP account.
