Description

FortiConverter customers may need to send their firewall configuration files to FortiConverter engineering in order to resolve conversion logic errors.

Customers may securely send these files using Fortinet’s SFTP service.

The same service can be used to retrieve private builds that fix conversion logic, if required.

This account has certain restrictions therefore it is recommended to use a SCP client to transfer files. For Windows users, Putty provides a suitable client, pscp.exe.
