If the step below does not work anymore, start the grace period and try again.

  • Set host name to bianca-sftp.uppmax.uu.se
  • Set user name to [username]-[project], e.g. sven-sens123456
  • Do not set password! Provide your UPPMAX password followed immediately by the UPPMAX 2FA when asked by the interactive login.
