ASM Connection

To publish data to Apple School Manager, you need to configure an SFTP connection with the credentials provided by Apple.

Prerequisites

Before setting up your connection, you'll need:

1. SFTP Host - The SFTP server address from Apple (e.g., upload.appleschoolcontent.com)
2. Username - Your SFTP username from Apple
3. Password - Your SFTP password from Apple
4. Port - Usually 22 (default)
5. Path - The upload directory path (optional)

Setting Up the Connection

1. Navigate to ASM Connection in the sidebar
2. Enter your SFTP credentials:
   • Host (without sftp:// prefix)
   • Username
   • Password
   • Port (default: 22)
   • Path (optional)
3. Click Test Connection to verify your credentials
4. Click Save to store the connection

Testing the Connection

The Test Connection button will:

1. Attempt to connect to the SFTP server
2. Verify your authentication credentials
3. Check write permissions to the specified path
4. Return a success or error message

Troubleshooting

Connection Refused

• Verify the host address is correct
• Check that port 22 is not blocked by your firewall
• Ensure the SFTP service is enabled for your ASM account

Authentication Failed

• Double-check your username and password
• Verify your credentials haven't expired in Apple School Manager
• Ensure you're using SFTP credentials, not your Apple ID

Permission Denied

• Check the path is correct and exists
• Verify your account has write permissions
• Contact Apple support if the issue persists
