| schestowitz | "My understanding is that my colleagues have given the go-ahead for the creation of the server and the ticket was tentatively closed without a server being set up. We need one ASAP for configuration, from our end, over SSH. A port needs to be opened for SFTP as well. We can worry about machine name etc. later.
