Perform a File Transfer to a Safehouse Location

When you import an encrypted file with your Marketing Cloud Engagement safehouse location set as the default location, follow these steps to perform an encrypted file transfer

1. Import the encrypted file into the Enhanced FTP Import Directory.
   

   Note If you use an external file location instead of Enhanced FTP, use a file transfer activity to move the file to the safehouse.
2. Use the File Transfer Activity to decrypt the file to the safehouse by selecting a private key.
3. Use the Import Activity to import the file from the safehouse.
   

   Note The safehouse location can be the default destination for imports. Making the safehouse your default destination for imports also places import results files in that same location. To make the safehouse location your default import location, contact your account executive.
