Output - putFTP

 

Description

Takes an input product, extracts all the files, and sends them to a specified remote host via the FTP protocol.

 

Configuration Variables

ftpUrl
An FTP URL containing a host name and a path. For example:

ftp://tiny.mitre.org/users/dirname/dirname

user

The user name that will be used to login to the remote host.

password

The password that will be used along with the user name to login to the remote host.

makeIndexPage

Defaults to false. Instructs the agent to create an index page that lists all the files that will be output. The index page will have URL references to all the files.

sourcePath

Identifies the PAM support directory that contains templates used when building index pages. This will default to a value that does not need to be changed.

How it works

The output agent receives an input product and performs the following operations:
  • Read the ftpUrl, user, and password variables and create a new FTP object
  • Send the product through AsFlatFileList product renderer to extract the FileRefs
  • Connect to the remote host if not already connected
  • Send the file
