Morningstar APICenter: FTP Retirement for New Feeds - Jun. 4, 2025

Originally posted on Apr. 15, 2025

On Jun. 4, 2025, Morningstar APICenter will remove the option to deliver new feeds via FTP. This will not impact existing feed deliveries. 

Based on usage data and client feedback, SFTP has been identified as the preferred, more secure method. Moving forward, only SFTP and Email delivery options will be available.

What This Means for You

• Clients using Morningstar servers: No action is required as this change will not impact your existing feeds.
• Clients using FTP on their servers: Please update your feed delivery method to SFTP.

Steps to Update to SFTP

1. Open and allow traffic on port 22 in your server’s firewall and network security devices.
2. Log in to APICenter.morningstar.com
3. Navigate to Client Account 
4. Open the scheduler for your FTP feed.
5. Select SFTP and provide the required information. (Your current delivery frequency and timing will remain the same.)
