Uploading Digital Data to the ATC
UPDATED (10/28/15)
The ATC uses a Secure FTP (SFTP) server for uploading digital
imaging, treatment planning, and verification data from clinical trial
and registry participants.
This server uses the SSH network protocol and offers several
advantages over conventional FTP, including encrypted transport of
usernames, passwords, and data, and compatibility with most firewall
configurations.
Please note:
-
All network data submisions to the ATC must use the Secure FTP
server, ITCsubmit.wustl.edu (IP address 128.252.17.87).
- An SFTP account (username and password) can be obtained
by contacting the ATC (314-747-5414).

Please read
Instructions for configuring SFTP clients (WS FTP Pro, Filezilla, WinSCP3, and Linux sftp) UPDATED (6/14/06).
-
SFTP client software, both commercial and open-source, is broadly
available. The free/open-source
FileZilla software is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
Windows SFTP clients include
WS_FTP Professional (commercial) and
WinSCP (free/open-source).
For Linux systems, both graphical (gftp) and command-line
(sftp) programs are included with most distributions.
- Problems in connecting to the ATC SFTP server, may be caused by
your institution's firewall configuration. An outbound connection
from your computer to TCP Port 22 on host ITCsubmit.wustl.edu is required.
(Although allowing such a connection is safe, it is sometimes disallowed by
default.) Please consult your local firewall/network administrator.
- The ATC Server Access Test web page can be used as a check of
network connectivity between your computer and the
ATC SFTP server.
(Here is an
alternate link to the Server Access Test page
using the IP address of the ATC server.)
