Upload to FTP Server

The FTP external action receives messages and uploads files to specified FTP hosts.

Configuration

Note: See also Working with Parameters in Automations Workflows.

  • Host: The FTP host name.
  • Port: The FTP port number.
  • Username: The FTP user name for authentication.
  • Password: The FTP user password for authentication.
  • Encryption: The encryption type, depending on the FTP server connection requirements. Options are None, FTPS and FTPES encryption protocols.
  • Transfer Type: The transfer method. Auto means the FTP subscription will guess the file type of the file being transferred. ASCII and Binary are available options when the file type is known.
  • Connection Type: The FTP connection mode. Passive Mode requires your FTP server to create connections using port numbers greater than 1023. Active Mode uses only ports 20 and 21 on the FTP server.
  • Destination Path: The destination path to upload the file. File paths must use forward slashes (/) or escaped backslashes (\\). If the path does not exist, FME attempts to create it on the FTP server when the subscription runs.
  • Source Path: The path to the source file to upload. To specify a Resources location, click the ellipsis (...). To specify another path, enter it in the text field directly. File paths must use forward slashes (/) or escaped backslashes (\\). Template macros are supported for this field (see below).
