SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts updates Market Data FTP delivery platform December 15, 2018

S&P Global Platts is working to upgrade the infrastructure that underpins Platts Market Data FTP delivery platform. This upgraded platform can be accessed from December 15, 2018.

Details to access the upgraded FTP platform:

-- Due to a change in S&P Global Platts information security posture the new platform will support only SFTP protocol. This means that FTP protocol connections will no longer work

-- If you use a client software like Filezilla to connect, this change requires you to specify Protocol=SFTP and port=22

-- If you utilize a script, it must specify protocol as SFTP and/or port=22

-- Access the upgraded platform by using this new url, sftp.platts.com, your current credentials/privileges will be replicated. We strongly recommend using the url to connect but if the IP address is needed please contact S&P Global Platts Client Services

-- To ensure you have adequate time to test, validate and migrate to the new platform, the current production platform (ftp.platts.com) will remain live until February 16, 2019

-- Please make all necessary changes to begin using the upgraded platform as soon as possible

-- If you currently connect to S&P Global Platts via SSH you should not need a new encryption key, however if you experience any issues connecting please contact S&P Global Platts Client Services

During 2019 we will continue to enhance the platform and additional security changes will be implemented such as adopting e-mail addresses in lieu of current User IDs and enforcing regular password resets. You will receive further details next year.
