# Finding basic auth service connector credentials for SFTP

## Required credentials

To [add a Patchworks connector](/product-documentation/patchworks-services/service-connectors/adding-a-service-connector.md) for **Patchworks SFTP** with **basic auth**, the following details are required:

<table><thead><tr><th>Credential</th><th data-type="checkbox">Required</th><th>Note</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>URL/host</td><td>true</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>Port</td><td>true</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>Username</td><td>true</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>Password</td><td>true</td><td>-</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Obtaining credentials

If you are using your own SFTP connection, you will have your own credentials to enter here. If in doubt, please contact your IT department.

For customers using a Patchworks S3 SFTP environment, the required credentials are generated and issued by Patchworks.&#x20;
