Get Started: To request a test account, simply email us at support@provideserver.com.
By default, your test account will have read-only access, meaning you can browse and download files, but not upload or modify anything on the server.
If you need write access for testing purposes, just mention it in your email—we’ll be happy to provide a demo account with the appropriate permissions.
Log In to Demo: Visit our demo server at https://demo-provide.farsight.se:4443/.
Use the username and password we send you to log in and explore ProVide’s features.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll be taken to the screen shown below. Here, you can test ProVide’s HTTPS file transfer area and explore how it works.
Test Different Protocols: ProVide supports more than just the HTTPS interface—it also works with FTP, FTPS and SFTP protocols.
To test these, connect to:demo-provide.farsight.se
Use your test account credentials with any standard FTP or SFTP client to try out the different connection types.
To connect via SFTP or FTPS, you’ll need a client that supports these protocols.
To test our demo environment, we recommend clients such as Filezilla or WinSCP.
In the example below we use Filezilla to connect.
Enter the following:
Host: demo-provide.farsight.se
Username: The username we sent you.
Password: The password we sent you.
Port: 22 (SFTP), 21 (FTPS)
Press quickconnect.
Once connected, you’ll be able to browse the server’s files on the remote site and choose a location on your local site to download them.
If your test account has write permissions, you can also upload files from your local machine to the remote server.
