This section explains how to copy the etc folder from your local dep-ppl-base repository to the Power Platform controller.
This method is intended only when the controller has no direct internet access to GitHub. If the controller has internet access, prefer using the pull method.
Whenever you make changes to configuration files, you must upload the updated etc folder (or the changed files inside it) again to the controller.

​
Prerequisites

1

Local Repository Ready

Ensure you have the dep-ppl-base repository on your local machine/computer and that the etc folder contains the desired configuration files.
2

Controller Details

Have the controller IP address, admin username, and password available. File transfer will use SFTP (port 22).

​
Using FileZilla

Open FileZilla

Start FileZilla on your Windows machine.
2

Connect via SFTP

In the Quickconnect bar:
