# How to automatically update the user base via FTP?

### Want to simplify user database management and save time? This article is for you! 👇

## 1. Overview

This feature is based on a configurable FTP connection from the **"Manage Users"** page. It allows you to import data via a remote file in a scheduled and automated manner. Administrators can:

* Update data in real-time
* Run simulations before execution
* Monitor and track the connection status

## 2. Initial Setup

### Access the User Management Page

* Log in to the platform as a super administrator.
* Go to the **"Manage Users"** page.
* Click on the **_Automation_** button.

### Configure the FTP Connection

* Fill in the essential information using the FTP configuration form, including:

* **Host** (FTP server address).
* **Directory** where the file is located on the server.
* **File** containing the user data.
* Click on **_Save_** to validate the configuration.

## 3. Connection Monitoring and Management

### Track Connection Status

* Go to the **Status Page** to monitor the FTP connection status.
* Check the possible statuses:

* **Active**: The connection is operational.
* **Suspended**: The connection is on hold.

### Available Actions

* **Edit FTP settings** (host, port, directory, file...).
* **Suspend the connection** to pause automatic updates.
* **Resume the connection** to restart the process.

## 4. Update and Simulation

### Run an Update

* Click on the **_Update Now_** button.
* The system applies the changes directly to the user database.
* A detailed report is sent by email

### Run a Simulation

* Click on the **_Run Simulation_** button.
* This option allows you to test the update without modifying the user database.
* A detailed report is sent by email, showing potential changes.

### Action Availability

* Actions can be triggered even if the FTP connection is suspended.

#### 🎉 Congratulations! You now know how to configure and automate your user database updates via FTP.
