OFAC ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT OF ITS FTP SERVER
July 26, 2023
On June 9, 2023, OFAC announced that it will retire its public facing file transfer protocol (“FTP”) server on or around June 10, 2024, to comply with the Treasury Department’s updated security policies. As background, the FTP server is the repository through which OFAC maintains critical files and its sanctions list and allows users to automate their sanctions list data downloads. Users of the FTP server are encouraged to develop automation using the list content available on OFAC’s website throughout the next year to prepare for the FTP server’s retirement. OFAC also included a list of URLs that may be used to access all of OFAC’s sanctions list and other sanctions-related information in the announcement, available here.
