pub.client:ftp

serverhost

String Name or IP address of the FTP server (for example, ftp.netscape.com).

serverport

String Port number of the FTP server (for example, 4566).

username

String Valid FTP user of the remote FTP server (for example, anonymous).

password

String Optional. Valid password of the FTP user.

command

String One of the following FTP commands: ls, put, or get.

dirpath

String Working directory of the FTP server (for example, /tmp/pub). If the directory does not exist, the server throws an exception.

transfermode

String One of two FTP file transfer modes: ascii or binary. The default is ascii.

transfertype

String One of two FTP data transfer types: passive or active. The default is active.

localfile

String When command is set to put, this parameter specifies the name of the local file you want to transfer. (If content is specified, this field is ignored.)

When command is set to get, this parameter specifies the name of the local file in which you want the retrieved content saved.

remotefile

String When command is set to put, this parameter specifies the name of the remote file in which you want the save the data you are sending.

When command is set to get, this parameter specifies the name of the remote file that you want to retrieve.

content

java.io.InputStream, byte[ ], or String Data to be transferred when command is set to put.

encoding

String Optional. Character set in which the document is encoded. Specify an IANA-registered character set (for example, ISO-8859-1).

This information is required to correctly convert the String object to bytes when performing a get. If parameter is null, the default JVM encoding is used.

serverencoding

String Optional. Specifies the encoding this service uses to convert the incoming FTP command string to encoded bytes that are supported by IANA and the FTP server. If the parameter is null, the service uses the 'UTF-8' character set to encode the FTP command String to bytes.

timeout

String Time (measured in seconds) this service waits for the FTP server response on the command channel before timing out and aborting the request. Default is to wait forever.

putunique

String Optional. Indicates whether to send a STOR or a STOU (Store as Unique File) command to the remote FTP server. Set to:

true to send a STOU (Store as Unique File) command.

false to send a STOR command. This is the default.

secure

Document Indicates whether the FTP session is with a secure FTP server.

Note:

Integration Server does not support FTPS (FTP over SSL) requests through FTP proxy.

Key

Description

auth

String The kind of authentication mechanism to use: None, SSL, TLS, or TLS-P.

None specifies that the FTP session is with a non-secure FTP server. This is the default. If the value of auth is None, the securedata variable is ignored.

TLS-P is a shortcut that is equivalent to the sequence AUTH TLS, PBSZ 0, and PROT P. If the value of auth is TLS-P, the securedata variable is ignored.

securedata

String Use the value false for a client sending PROT C (Data Channel Protection Level Clear).

Use the value true for a client sending PROT P (Data Channel Protection Level Private).

Note:

If you do not set a value, the default is false.

cleanlinefeeds

String Optional. Indicates whether the service should retain or remove carriage return characters at the end of each line of text. Set to:

true to remove carriage returns. This is the default.

false to retain carriage returns.

newSession

String Optional. Flag indicating whether a a new FTP session will be created for this FTP operation. Set to:

yes to create a new session for this FTP operation.

no to use the current session, if one is available, for this FTP operation. This is the default.

clientTimeout

String Optional. Specifies the idle time-out, measured in seconds, for this FTP session. If clientTimeout is set to 0 (zero), the session will never time out. The default is 600 seconds (10 minutes).

proxyAlias

String Optional. Name of the proxy server alias for the proxy server to which Integration Server routes the FTP request.

If you do not specify a proxyAlias, Integration Server routes the FTP request through the proxy server specified in the default FTP proxy alias. If there is no default FTP proxy alias, the action taken by Integration Server depends on the value specified for the watt.net.proxy.useNonDefaultProxies parameter.

If the watt.net.proxy.useNonDefaultProxies parameter is set to true, Integration Server routes the FTP request through the proxy server in any configured FTP proxy alias. If the Integration Server does not have any defined FTP proxy aliases, Integration Server sends the FTP request directly to the FTP server or throws an exception depending on the settings specified for the watt.net.proxy.fallbackToDirectConnection parameter.

If the watt.server.proxy.useNonDefaultProxies parameter is set to false, Integration Server sends the request to the remote server using a direct connection.

For more information about proxy server usage, refer to webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
