OFTPClient Module

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The OFTPClient module implements the Odette File Transfer Protocol.

Syntax

IPWorksEDI.Oftpclient

Remarks

The OFTPClient component may be used to send and receive OFTP files to and from an OFTP server.

Receiving Files

The OFTPClient ReceiveFiles function requires certain server properties be set. You must set the RemoteHost property to the remote location of the desired OFTP server. You may also set a RemotePort if the server is not set to the default protocol port. For client authorization, you must set the ClientSSIDCode, ClientSFIDCode, and ClientPassword properties. And, for server authentication, you must set the ServerSSIDCode, ServerSFIDCode, and ServerPassword properties.

The class will connect to the OFTP server and download all files in the server's outgoing queue, and write these files to the directory specified by DownloadDirectory. The class creates a default location on the local machine based on the values of the DownloadDirectory and the Virtual Filename as received from the server. If a different location is preferred, you may set the LocalFile parameter of the StartTransfer event.

Sending Files

The OFTPClient SendFile function requires the same server and authentication properties to be set as the ReceiveFiles function.

The class will connect to the OFTP server and upload the file contained by the LocalFile parameter. It uses the name specified by VirtualFileName when sending to the server. If this is not specified, the filename of the local file is parsed and used as the virtual filename.

CertEncoded Property (OFTPClient Module)

This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded).

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var certEncoded: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public var certEncodedB: Data {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=certEncoded,setter=setCertEncoded:) NSString* certEncoded;

- (NSString*)certEncoded;

- (NSString*)certSubject;
- (void)setCertSubject :(NSString*)newCertSubject;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are displayed below.

If a field value contains a comma it must be quoted.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setCertSubject(certSubject: String) throws

Default Value

0

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

SSLCertSubject Property (OFTPClient Module)

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var sslCertSubject: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertSubject,setter=setSSLCertSubject:) NSString* SSLCertSubject;

- (NSString*)SSLCertSubject;
- (void)setSSLCertSubject :(NSString*)newSSLCertSubject;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are displayed below.

If a field value contains a comma it must be quoted.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSSLCertSubject(sslCertSubject: String) throws

Timeout Property (OFTPClient Module)

A timeout for the module.

  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timeout,setter=setTimeout:) int timeout;

- (int)timeout;
- (void)setTimeout :(int)newTimeout;

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with a WOULDBLOCK error if data cannot be sent immediately.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, data is sent in a blocking manner and the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control. The class will handle any potential WOULDBLOCK errors internally and automatically retry the operation for a maximum of Timeout seconds.

The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class .

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

Sends a Change Direction (CD) command.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func changeDirection() throws -> Void

- (void)changeDirection;

Remarks

This method sends a Change Direction (CD) command to the remote host when called. In normal operation this should not be used. This should only be used if a condition arises where you must manually change the speaker when communicating with the remote host.

Config Method (OFTPClient Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Connect Method (OFTPClient Module)

This method connects to the FTP server without logging in.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func connect() throws -> Void

- (void)connect;

Remarks

This method establishes a connection with the RemoteHost but does not log in. In most cases, it is recommended to use the Logon method, which will both establish a connection and log in to the server.

This method may be useful in cases in which it is desirable to separate the connection and logon operations, for instance, confirming that a host is available by first creating the connection.

Disconnect Method (OFTPClient Module)

This method disconnects from the server without first logging off.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func disconnect() throws -> Void

- (void)disconnect;

Remarks

This method immediately disconnects from the server without first logging off.

In most cases, the Logoff method should be used to log off and disconnect from the server. Call the Disconnect method in cases in which it is desirable to immediately disconnect without first logging off.

DoEvents Method (OFTPClient Module)

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func doEvents() throws -> Void

- (void)doEvents;

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

ExchangeCertificate Method (OFTPClient Module)

Exchange a certificate with the remote host.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func exchangeCertificate(certificateStore: String, certificateExchangeType: Int32) throws -> Void

- (void)exchangeCertificate:(NSString*)certificateStore :(int)certificateExchangeType;

Remarks

If the remote host supports the certificate exchange feature of OFTP 2.0 this method may be used to send and/or request certificates.

The CertificateStore parameter specifies the location of the certificate to be exchanged. In most cases this will be the path to a .cer file on disk. If the certificate is in another format or is installed to the Windows certificate store please see ExchangeCertStoreType and ExchangeCertSubject for more information.

The CertificateExchangeType parameter determines the type of request. Possible values are:

ImportTrustedCerts Method (OFTPClient Module)

Imports a list of trusted CA certificates.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func importTrustedCerts() throws -> Void

- (void)importTrustedCerts;

Remarks

When ImportTrustedCerts is called the class will import the CA certificates from the source specified by TrustedCertsData into the TrustedCerts collection.

The class will then validate the trust of certificates when they are loaded.

If trusted CA certificates are not imported no validation will occur (default).

See also FailOnUntrustedCert.

Interrupt Method (OFTPClient Module)

This method interrupts the current action.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func interrupt() throws -> Void

- (void)interrupt;

Remarks

This method interrupts the current action. If you use SendFile to upload a file, the class will run synchronously until the upload is completed. This method will allow you to stop the file from uploading without disconnecting from the host.

Logoff Method (OFTPClient Module)

Logoff from the OFTP server.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func logoff() throws -> Void

- (void)logoff;

Remarks

Logoff from the OFTP server. If that fails, the connection is terminated by the local host.

Logon Method (OFTPClient Module)

Logon to the OFTP RemoteHost using the current client credentials.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func logon() throws -> Void

- (void)logon;

Remarks

Logon to the OFTP server using the current ClientSSIDCode, ClientSFIDCode, and ClientPassword. The component will also check the corresponding server credentials, ServerSSIDCode, ServerSFIDCode, and ServerPassword.

ReceiveFiles Method (OFTPClient Module)

Receive any files queued to be sent from the server.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func receiveFiles() throws -> Void

- (void)receiveFiles;

Remarks

This method connects to the server, and receives any files the server has in its outgoing queue to this particular partner. The files are downloaded to the directory specified by the DownloadDirectory property.

Reset Method (OFTPClient Module)

Resets the state of the control.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func reset() throws -> Void

- (void)reset;

Remarks

Reset resets the state of the class. All properties will be set to their default values.

SendEndResponse Method (OFTPClient Module)

Sends an EERP/NERP asynchronously.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func sendEndResponse(virtualFileName: String, virtualFileDate: String, destination: String, originator: String, creator: String, reasonCode: Int32, reasonText: String, fileHash: String, signature: String) throws -> Void

- (void)sendEndResponse:(NSString*)virtualFileName :(NSString*)virtualFileDate :(NSString*)destination :(NSString*)originator :(NSString*)creator :(int)reasonCode :(NSString*)reasonText :(NSString*)fileHash :(NSString*)signature;

Remarks

This method sends an EERP/NERP. By default the class will automatically respond with an EERP/NERP when receiving a file. To respond asynchronously instead this method may be used.

To respond asynchronously first set the SendEndResponse parameter of the EndTransfer event to False. This instructs the class to not send a response automatically. Within the EndTransfer event you must also save the values that are required parameters for this method. This includes FileHash, VirtualFileDate, and VirtualFileName. Note: VirtualFileDateFormat must be set to a format that includes the necessary level of accuracy.

Destination should be set to the SFID of the remote host.

Originator should be set to the SFID of the local system. In the case that the class is being used as part of a gateway process to forward traffic to another OFTP host this may be set to the SFID of that host instead.

Creator should be set to the SFID of the local system.

Signature is only applicable if the application is acting as a routing application. In all other cases this should be set to empty string. In the case where the application is acting as a routing application the end response is being forwarded to another entity for processing. The Signature should be set to the value received in the EndResponse event (if populated).

ReasonCode and ReasonText are used to specify error information. If ReasonCode is set to 0 the class will send an EERP. If ReasonCode is set to any non-zero value the class will send a NERP. Common values are:

SendFile Method (OFTPClient Module)

Send the specified file to the server.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func sendFile(localFile: String, virtualFileName: String) throws -> Void

- (void)sendFile:(NSString*)localFile :(NSString*)virtualFileName;

Remarks

This method connects to the server, and uploads the specified file to the server. The LocalFile parameter contains the path and name of the file to send to the server. The VirtualFileName parameter contains the virtual file name of the file being sent. If this parameter is left as an empty string, the component will use the filename contained in the LocalFile parameter by default.

Note: When SetUploadStream has been called with a valid input stream, the data will be uploaded from there instead of the LocalFile.

ValidateCert Method (OFTPClient Module)

Validates the certificate with private key.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func validateCert() throws -> Bool

- (BOOL)validateCert;

Remarks

This method optionally validates the certificate specified by Certificate. It is not required to validate the certificate from a technical perspective, but may be desired to ensure the recipient's certificate is valid and issued by a trusted authority.

Before calling this method call ImportTrustedCerts to load the trusted certification information.

When this method is called the class:

• Validates the certificate has not expired
• Validates the certificate was issued by a CA in the TrustedCerts collection. If the certificate is self-signed this step is skipped.
• Validates the certificate has not been revoked. Note that the revocation check will only make use of the CRL distribution point identified in the certificate's extension. If the certificate does not contain a CRL distribution point extension this step is skipped.

ValidateRecipientCert Method (OFTPClient Module)

Validates the recipient certificate.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func validateRecipientCert() throws -> Bool

- (BOOL)validateRecipientCert;

Remarks

This method optionally validates the certificate specified by RecipientCert. It is not required to validate the certificate from a technical perspective, but may be desired to ensure the recipient's certificate is valid and issued by a trusted authority.

Before calling this method call ImportTrustedCerts to load the trusted certification information.

When this method is called the class:

• Validates the certificate has not expired
• Validates the certificate was issued by a CA in the TrustedCerts collection. If the certificate is self-signed this step is skipped.
• Validates the certificate has not been revoked. Note that the revocation check will only make use of the CRL distribution point identified in the certificate's extension. If the certificate does not contain a CRL distribution point extension this step is skipped.

AcceptFile Event (OFTPClient Module)

Fired when the client receives a file.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onAcceptFile(virtualFileName: String, virtualFileDate: String, destination: String, originator: String, accept: inout Bool, filename: inout String, overwrite: inout Bool, errorCode: inout Int32, errorDescription: inout String)

- (void)onAcceptFile:(NSString*)virtualFileName :(NSString*)virtualFileDate :(NSString*)destination :(NSString*)originator :(int*)accept :(NSString**)filename :(int*)overwrite :(int*)errorCode :(NSString**)errorDescription;

Remarks

This event controls the behavior when the client receives a file.

VirtualFileName holds the name of the file being received.

VirtualFileDate holds the date associated with the file in the format specified by VirtualFileDateFormat. The default value is "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".

Destination identifies the receiver (SFID) code in the send file request. If the file was intended for this server this will match the value in ServerSFIDCode

Originator identifies the sender (SFID) code in the send file request.

Accept is true by default, and must be set to False in order to reject the file.

Filename will be populated with the full path and filename that will be written. It may be changed within this event to specify a new location. The Filename is determined by combining the path specified in ConnectionsDownloadDirectory and the name received from the client.

Overwrite is false by default, but may be set to true to overwrite existing files on disk.

ErrorCode controls the error returned to the client when Accept is set to False. If this is not set the class will use a value of 99 to indicate a general error.

ErrorDescription may also be set to include an error message. If this is not set the class will automatically include an error message based on the ErrorCode specified. Common error codes and their corresponding error messages are listed below.

CertificateReceived Event (OFTPClient Module)

Fired when a certificate is received from the remote host.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onCertificateReceived(certificateFileName: String, certificateExchangeType: Int32)

- (void)onCertificateReceived:(NSString*)certificateFileName :(int)certificateExchangeType;

Remarks

This event provides information about the certificate file that was sent by the remote host.

When the remote host sends a certificate using the Certificate Exchange feature of OFTP 2.0, this event provides information about it. The certificate file will be written to the DownloadDirectory. After the file is written to DownloadDirectory this event will fire.

The CertificateFilemame parameter holds the filename of the received certificate.

The CertificateExchangeType parameter identifies the type of request associated with the certificate. Possible values are:

EndResponse Event (OFTPClient Module)

Fired every time an end response is received from the server.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onEndResponse(virtualFileName: String, virtualFileDate: String, destination: String, originator: String, creator: String, reasonCode: Int32, reasonText: String, fileHash: inout String, signature: String, direction: Int32)

- (void)onEndResponse:(NSString*)virtualFileName :(NSString*)virtualFileDate :(NSString*)destination :(NSString*)originator :(NSString*)creator :(int)reasonCode :(NSString*)reasonText :(NSString**)fileHash :(NSString*)signature :(int)direction;

Remarks

This event contains information received from an either an End-To-End Response or a Negative End Response received from the server.

An End-To-End Response will not contain values for the ReasonCode, ReasonText, or Creator parameters.

VirtualFileName specifies the name of the file.

VirtualFileDate holds the VirtualFileDate value in the format specified by VirtualFileDateFormat. The default value is "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".

Destination is the SFID of the destination system (this class).

Originator identifies the system that originated the end response. This is typically the same as Creator and holds the remote system's SFID.

Creator is the SFID of the remote system.

Direction specifies whether the end response is being received or sent. Possible values are:

FileHash is populated if the OFTP Version is 2.0 and a signed receipt was originally requested. FileHash may also be specified with the expected value in the case where an asynchronous EndResponse is received. The expected value may be obtained from the EndTransfer event when initially sending the file.

Signature is only applicable when the OFTP version is 2.0 and the application is acting as a routing application where the end response will be forwarded on to another entity. In this case Signature will be populated if the end response is signed. This should be stored and supplied when forwarding the response with the SendEndResponse method.

ReasonCode and ReasonText identify the error if a Negative End Response (NERP) was received. A value of 0 indicates there was no an error and the response is an End-To-End Response (EERP). Common values are:

EndTransfer Event (OFTPClient Module)

Fired when a file finishes transferring.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onEndTransfer(direction: Int32, localFile: String, virtualFileName: String, virtualFileDate: String, destination: String, originator: String, reasonCode: Int32, reasonText: String, fileSize: Int64, fileHash: String, sendEndResponse: inout Bool)

- (void)onEndTransfer:(int)direction :(NSString*)localFile :(NSString*)virtualFileName :(NSString*)virtualFileDate :(NSString*)destination :(NSString*)originator :(int)reasonCode :(NSString*)reasonText :(long long)fileSize :(NSString*)fileHash :(int*)sendEndResponse;

Remarks

The EndTransfer event is fired when a file is sent or received by the class.

The FileSize parameter gives the size of the file that was sent or received.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client or the server is sending the data.

VirtualFileName holds the filename.

VirtualFileDate holds the date associated with the file in the format specified by VirtualFileDateFormat. The default value is "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".

Originator identifies the sender (SFID) code in the send file request.

Destination identifies the receiver (SFID) code in the send file request.

SendEndResponse indicates whether the EERP/NERP for this request should be sent synchronously or asynchronously. When this parameter is True (default) the class will automatically respond with an EERP/NERP synchronously. To respond asynchronously set this parameter to False. You may then use the SendEndResponse method to send the response at a later time. See SendEndResponse for more details. Note: VirtualFileDateFormat must be set to a format that includes the necessary level of accuracy.

FileHash holds the hash of the file being transmitted. This is only applicable when the OFTP version is 2.0 and the sender requested a signed receipt. When receiving files this value should be saved if you wish to respond asynchronously using SendEndResponse. See SendEndResponse for more details.

LocalFile holds the full path to the file that will be written.

ReasonCode and ReasonText identify the error if a Negative End Response (NERP) was received. A value of 0 indicates there was no an error and the response is an End-To-End Response (EERP). Common values are:

Error Event (OFTPClient Module)
