# SFTP integration

You can set up an SFTP server and drop CSV exports of your most recently sent packages on a regular basis. Shipup will try to access the server every hour and will retrieve all recently generated exports.

Alternatively, we can also provide access to our SFTP server (<code>sftpgo.shipup.co</code>) so you don't need to set up your own.

The expected format will vary depending on whether you wish to [send order or package data](https://developers.shipup.co/docs/sending-orders-or-trackers).

## Data format

Shipup is expecting CSV files **encoded with UTF-8**.

## Datetime format

Datetime fields are expected to be sent using [UNIX timestamps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time) (seconds since 1970).

For convenience, [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) format is also considered valid (e.g. <code>2019-08-12T09:17:29Z</code>).

## Data model

The list and the description of the different Shipup data model that you will need to provide can be found in the [API reference documentation](https://developers.shipup.co/reference/getting-started-1)
