Data Transfer from the Sterisart® Gen 4 to a Server Using FTPS | Tutorial
Authors: Sartorius | Last updated: September, 2025
Overview
Sterility testing is a critical requirement in pharmaceutical manufacturing, confirming that each batch is free from viable microorganisms before release. That's why choosing a sterility testing pump that supports electronic reporting adds real value, enabling instant team access, built-in compliance with audit trails, and reliable data backup.
In this tutorial, we show you how to set up and execute secure data transfer from the Sterisart® Gen 4 system to a designated server via FTPS. We walk you through the complete process, including installing the required certificate file, configuring an FTPS connector within the Sterisart® UI, and assigning a print profile to a task. Whether you're in QA, QC, or R&D, this setup simplifies documentation, speeds up troubleshooting, and removes manual steps from your workflow.
