This page will demonstrate how to access the Data Hub import, export, and log folders via SFTP. There are two examples, one for Windows and one for MacOS.
Windows Access

Once logged in the Data Hub folders must be located. Select the folder icon as shown in the following image to enter the file path in the Open Directory window.
The file paths are located on the Data Hub settings screen. Go to Administration block > Site Administration > Plugins > Local plugins > Data Hub plugins > Version 1 ELIS import or Version 1 ELIS export. The file paths are setup by Remote-Learner.
Enter the file path in the open directory window.
