The SFTP server for submitting files to the CT Paid Leave Authority is a different SFTP server than you use to upload files for other State of Connecticut taxes.
Step-by-Step
Create a CT.gov account and register your business
You must create a CT.gov account and register your business before requesting SFTP access.
Submit request using the Contact Us form
Submit a Contact Us inquiry and select “SFTP Access” as the contact reason. In the body of your inquiry, specify that you would like to remit via batch and require SFTP access. State whether you want to connect using SSH Keys or by manually logging in to the SFTP server.
Add the @salesforce.com and @ctpaidleave.org domains to your safe senders list so that you will be able to receive emails from us. Please check your email spam or junk mail for CT Paid Leave responses.
Create a test batch file
Refer to the File Specification Toolkit for detailed file specifications to create test enrollment, return and amended return files.
Only 1 test file is necessary to test your SFTP connection. We recommend creating a test file for each type of batch file (enrollment, return and amended return) to ensure you have proper formatting before attempting to submit actual files.
