Sending Your File to Traverse

Traverse is able to receive most files in CSV or TSV format. Hosting this file on Amazon S3 works best. We can also pull your file from an SFTP or provide an SFTP account on our platform.

S3 File Upload

Use of Amazon S3 is the preferred method for sending Traverse your files. Please provide Traverse with either a presigned URL that links to a direct download of your file, or upload it to a bucket which has been configured to allow access from Traverse.

Full instructions for sharing a file with Traverse via S3 may be found here.

SFTP File Upload

If S3 is not an option, Traverse will be able to set you up with login details for an account on our SFTP server. Unless otherwise instructed, please upload all files to the /incoming directory. All files must have unique names, so we recommend adding the date.
