FtpSend node


The FtpSend node icon

This page contains information on:

The FtpSend node uses the File Transport Protocol to send the current message contained in the message tree to a target FTP server and saves that message as a file.

The node propagates the incoming message unchanged from the in terminal to the out terminal.  In the process, the message tree is serialized and an FTP connection formed to the FTP server named in the FTP Server property of the node.  Authentication at the server is performed by using the FTP login and FTP password properties.  The message is saved as the file named in the FTP file name property and will have text conversion applied if the FTP ascii check-box property is selected.

The name of the target file may be supplied within the message flow if the WKSPACE parser is installed and the name of the target file is located in the message tree at

Root.WKSPACE.FTPSend.FileName

Node terminals

The FtpSend node provides the following terminals:

in

The input terminal that accepts a message for processing by the node.

out

The output terminal to which the message is propagated unchanged.
