What Katana asks for
The Katana connection form asks for four values: Host, Username, Password, and Folder. These are the details of an SFTP account that Moda Express sets up for you.
Host: The SFTP hostname on its own, for example modaedi.hostedftp.com. Leave off https:// and anything after the hostname.
Username: The SFTP username Moda Express creates for you.
Password: The password for that SFTP username.
Folder: The folder your files sit in once you log in over SFTP, for example /Acme.
Find your credentials in Moda Express
Moda Express has no portal or self-service screen for generating these values. You request them instead:
Email your Moda Express account rep, or [email protected] if you don't have one. Ask them to set up an EDI/SFTP folder for your Katana integration.
Moda Express replies with the hostname, a username, a password, and the name of the folder they created for you. They set up one folder per trading partner, with From_Moda and To_Moda folders inside it.
Check the Folder value. Moda Express often quotes it as a web browser address, such as /files/path/Acme_Datex2026/Acme. That longer path only works on the hostedftp website. Over SFTP, you land at the top of your own account, so the folder is just the last part, for example /Acme. If you aren't sure which one you were given, ask Moda Express for the SFTP path.
Enter all four values into the Katana connection form.
Send any questions about the credentials or the folder to your Moda Express contact.
