Appendix J:  Information Transfer and System Access Instructions (FTP)

Illinois Department of Human Services Information Transfer and System Access Instructions

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Instructions

Each community provider must register with the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS), Management Information Services (MIS), in order to submit their Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and/or Alcohol and Substance Abuse information to the department using FTP. The community provider will be assigned a "FTP Provider ID" that will be used to identify their information when submitting and receiving the appropriate files through FTP. If the provider wishes files to be returned to different locations within their provider, they must have a satellite code assigned using the normal procedure. The new satellite code does not change the data entry process; it only creates a new mailing address.

The community provider must complete the "Community Provider FTP Registration Request" form to receive a FTP Provider ID. This form only needs to be completed once for each location. The form must be signed by the Executive Director then forwarded to the appropriate MH/DD/ASA person for signature.

System Access Instructions

Each staff member at the community provider that will be responsible for the FTP, e-RIN, Mobius View-Direct, SIS On-Line, DMH Jail Link, and/or MedScreen processes must complete the "Community Provider User ID and System Access Request" form. This form is used to assign the DHS User ID and grant access to the systems identified. This form is also used if the staff member possesses a current DHS User ID and needs to request access to additional systems. The form must be signed by the requesting staff person and the Executive Director then forwarded to the appropriate MH/DD/ASA person for signature. Note: The initial password for users will be their DHS User ID and they will be required to change the password the first time they use the ID.

DHS/MIS Processing


After the forms have been signed by the DHS authorized individual, he/she forwards the forms to the MIS, Bureau of Security, Planning, and Quality Assurance (BSPQA) for assignment of the FTP Provider ID and/or DHS User ID and system access. Once the request has been processed, BSPQA will notify the authorizing DHS individual and the community provider via e-mail.

User ID Request Forms

An email request for a form should be sent to DHS.DDDMedProv@illinois.gov. Once completed, the form should be sent back to the same email address.  The staff in this office are responsible for approval and processing of all requests for User IDs.

FTP Transfers

After the community agency has been successfully registered with DHS, you may begin transmitting files via FTP. If your agency utilizes a fire wall (and most do), then port 2021 must be open for connectivity. Establish a connection to the Internet, if not already established (such as a dial up connection).

When the Login window is displayed, enter your FTP User ID and Password then click Ok to continue.  If an error box is displayed, check that the FTP User ID and Password are correct.

Note:  The first time you log into the system, enter the temporary password provided to you by MIS Security and then you will be prompted to change your password. The password is case sensitive and must be changed every 30 days.  If you have any problems with your password, Contact DHS Network Services via email at DoIT.helpdesk@illinois.gov.
