How Files.com Fits With LiveRamp

LiveRamp onboards first-party data through file uploads over SFTP. You send customer-data files — the records LiveRamp resolves to identities and distributes to your destinations — on a recurring schedule. The resolution is LiveRamp’s job; the part that breaks is building each upload file correctly, encrypting it the way LiveRamp expects, and getting it there on time.

Files.com is the SFTP endpoint that runs that delivery. Your CRM, point-of-sale, and partner systems send source data to your Files.com site over SFTP, FTPS, or HTTPS; an Automation validates each one, normalizes it into the columns LiveRamp expects, PGP-encrypts it with the right key, and delivers it to LiveRamp on the schedule the onboard runs. Every transfer is logged, so you have a record of exactly which file reached LiveRamp and when.

What You Would Use

Managed SFTP For LiveRamp

Give LiveRamp a stable, monitored SFTP source for your onboarding files — no server of your own to patch and no box exposed to the internet.

See File Transfer

Normalize The Onboard File

Convert and reshape source CSV, XML, and JSON into the columns and format LiveRamp expects, and pull values out of each file to route it, before it goes out.

See Transform & Extract

PGP Encrypt Before Delivery

LiveRamp onboarding files are commonly PGP-encrypted. Files.com encrypts each file with the right key as part of the workflow, with keys you control.

See PGP Encryption

Deliver And Audit On Schedule

An Automation builds each onboard file and delivers it to LiveRamp on the cadence the onboard runs, retries on failure, and logs every transfer so you know exactly what reached LiveRamp.
