Accessing the shared folder

You can use your shared folder account user name and password to access the shared folder in the following ways:

• Use the Windows File Explorer in the remote desktop session to manage files in the shared folder.
• Use a File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS) application on your local computer to move files between your local computer and the shared folder.
  Important: To ensure that your data is encrypted when transferred, the IBM Planning Analytics system FTP connection is configured to use FTP with Secure Sockets Layer (FTPS). Make sure to use an FTP application that supports FTPS.

  For information on FTPS configurations used by IBM Planning Analytics, see File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS) connections.

• If you have multiple cloud environments, you can use File Explorer to move files between the shared folders in each environment.
