OFTPClient Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The OFTPClient class implements the Odette File Transfer Protocol.

Syntax

class 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 receive_files function requires certain server properties be set. You must set the remote_host property to the remote location of the desired OFTP server. You may also set a remote_port if the server is not set to the default protocol port. For client authorization, you must set the client_ssid_code, client_sfid_code, and client_password properties. And, for server authentication, you must set the server_ssid_code, server_sfid_code, and server_password 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 download_directory. The class creates a default location on the local machine based on the values of the download_directory and the Virtual Filename as received from the server. If a different location is preferred, you may set the LocalFile parameter of the on_start_transfer event.

Sending Files

The OFTPClient send_file function requires the same server and authentication properties to be set as the receive_files 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.

def set_cert_encoded(value: bytes) -> None: ...

cert_encoded = property(get_cert_encoded, set_cert_encoded)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The cert_store and cert_subject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When cert_encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current cert_store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, cert_subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, cert_subject is set to an empty string.

cert_store Property

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

Syntax

def get_cert_store() -> bytes: ...
def set_cert_store(value: bytes) -> None: ...

cert_store = property(get_cert_store, set_cert_store)

Default Value

"MY"

Remarks

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The cert_store_type property denotes the type of the certificate store specified by cert_store. If the store is password protected, specify the password in cert_store_password.

cert_store is used in conjunction with the cert_subject property to specify client certificates. If cert_store has a value, and cert_subject or cert_encoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the cert_subject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

MYA certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys.
CACertifying authority certificates.
ROOTRoot certificates.

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

cert_store_password Property

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

Syntax

def get_cert_store_password() -> str: ...
def set_cert_store_password(value: str) -> None: ...

cert_store_password = property(get_cert_store_password, set_cert_store_password)

Remarks

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

cert_store_type Property

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

Syntax

def get_cert_store_type() -> int: ...
def set_cert_store_type(value: int) -> None: ...

cert_store_type = property(get_cert_store_type, set_cert_store_type)

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:

0 (cstUser - default)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

1 (cstMachine)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

2 (cstPFXFile)The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS#12) file containing certificates.
3 (cstPFXBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS#12) format.
4 (cstJKSFile)The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates.

Note: This store type is only available in Java.

5 (cstJKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format.

Note: this store type is only available in Java.

6 (cstPEMKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
7 (cstPEMKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate.

Note: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

22 (cstBCFKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store) format.

Note: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CertMgr class. The list_store_certificates method may be called after setting cert_store_type to cstPKCS11, cert_store_password to the PIN, and cert_store to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the on_cert_list event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the cert_store and set cert_store_password to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

cert_subject Property

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

Syntax

def get_cert_subject() -> str: ...
def set_cert_subject(value: str) -> None: ...

cert_subject = property(get_cert_subject, set_cert_subject)

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 as follows:

FieldMeaning
CNCommon Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.
OOrganization
OUOrganizational Unit
LLocality
SState
CCountry
EEmail Address

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

client_password Property

The client's password.

Syntax

def get_client_password() -> str: ...
def set_client_password(value: str) -> None: ...

client_password = property(get_client_password, set_client_password)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The password assigned to the client in the bilateral agreement. This property must be a string of no more than 8 characters long.

client_sfid_code Property

Client's SFID code.

Syntax

def get_client_sfid_code() -> str: ...
def set_client_sfid_code(value: str) -> None: ...

client_sfid_code = property(get_client_sfid_code, set_client_sfid_code)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The SFID code identifies the origin or destination party that is sending or receiving a file, while the SSID code identifies the party that a session is established with. If the SFID and SSID codes do not match, then the party the session is established with is acting as an intermediary, and the party identified by the SFID code is either the origin or final destination.

When acting as an intermediary the component will not perform any security services (i.e. sign, verify, encrypt, decrypt). Security services are to be performed by the origin or destination only. Data should simply be passed along by an intermediary.

client_ssid_code Property

The client's SSID code.

Syntax

def get_client_ssid_code() -> str: ...
def set_client_ssid_code(value: str) -> None: ...

client_ssid_code = property(get_client_ssid_code, set_client_ssid_code)

Default Value

recipient_cert_store_type = property(get_recipient_cert_store_type, set_recipient_cert_store_type)

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:

0 (cstUser - default)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

1 (cstMachine)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

2 (cstPFXFile)The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS#12) file containing certificates.
3 (cstPFXBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS#12) format.
4 (cstJKSFile)The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates.

Note: This store type is only available in Java.

5 (cstJKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CertMgr class. The list_store_certificates method may be called after setting cert_store_type to cstPKCS11, cert_store_password to the PIN, and cert_store to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the on_cert_list event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the recipient_cert_store and set recipient_cert_store_password to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

recipient_cert_subject Property

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

Syntax

def get_recipient_cert_subject() -> str: ...
def set_recipient_cert_subject(value: str) -> None: ...

recipient_cert_subject = property(get_recipient_cert_subject, set_recipient_cert_subject)

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 as follows:

FieldMeaning
CNCommon Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.
OOrganization
OUOrganizational Unit
LLocality
SState
CCountry
EEmail Address

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

remote_host Property

The domain name or IP address of the OFTP server.

Syntax

def get_remote_host() -> str: ...
def set_remote_host(value: str) -> None: ...

remote_host = property(get_remote_host, set_remote_host)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The remote_host property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or Domain Name of the OFTP server. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is in progress.

If the remote_host property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the remote_host property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If the class is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with an "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.

remote_port Property

The port for the OFTP service (default is 3305).

Syntax

def get_remote_port() -> int: ...
def set_remote_port(value: int) -> None: ...

remote_port = property(get_remote_port, set_remote_port)

Default Value

3305

Remarks

A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required for the connection to take place. The property must be set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established. Any attempt to change this property while connected will fail with an error.

When use_ssl is set to True this property will be set to 6619.

secure_authentication Property

Whether or not the class should perform secure Odette authentication.

Syntax

def get_secure_authentication() -> bool: ...
def set_secure_authentication(value: bool) -> None: ...

secure_authentication = property(get_secure_authentication, set_secure_authentication)

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

If true, the class will perform secure authentication when connecting to the server. The secure authentication consists of encrypting and decrypting data sent to and from the server, and verifying that this occurred successfully. Secure authentication may be performed in plaintext or SSL mode.

Both certificate and recipient_cert properties must be populated when this property is set to true.

This is only valid for version 2.0 of the protocol.

server_password Property

The server's password.

Syntax

def get_server_password() -> str: ...
def set_server_password(value: str) -> None: ...

server_password = property(get_server_password, set_server_password)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The password assigned to the server in the bilateral agreement. This property must be a string of no more than 8 characters long.

server_sfid_code Property

Server's SFID code.

Syntax

def get_server_sfid_code() -> str: ...
def set_server_sfid_code(value: str) -> None: ...

server_sfid_code = property(get_server_sfid_code, set_server_sfid_code)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The SFID code identifies the origin or destination party that is sending or receiving a file, while the SSID code identifies the party that a session is established with. If the SFID and SSID codes do not match, then the party the session is established with is acting as an intermediary, and the party identified by the SFID code is either the origin or final destination.

When acting as an intermediary the component will not perform any security services (i.e. sign, verify, encrypt, decrypt). Security services are to be performed by the origin or destination only. Data should simply be passed along by an intermediary.

server_ssid_code Property

The server's SSID code.

Syntax

def get_server_ssid_code() -> str: ...
def set_server_ssid_code(value: str) -> None: ...

server_ssid_code = property(get_server_ssid_code, set_server_ssid_code)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The identification code of the server. This code may be less than, but no more than 25 characters long. Generally, SSID codes have the following format as specified in RFC 2204 that is based on ISO 6523:

Code Identifier 'O' - Indicates ODETTE assigned the Organization Identifier. Other values can be used for non-ODETTE codes.

NOTE: This field is a fixed length of 1 character.

International Code A code forming part of the Organization Identifier.

NOTE: This field may be of variable length up to 4 characters long.

Organization CodeA code forming part of the Organization Identifier. This field may contain the letters A to Z, the digits 0 to 9, and space and hyphen characters.

Whether or not to require signed receipts.

Syntax

def get_signed_receipt() -> bool: ...
def set_signed_receipt(value: bool) -> None: ...

signed_receipt = property(get_signed_receipt, set_signed_receipt)

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

When sending a file to a trading partner, set this to true if the file receipt should be signed by the server. When this receipt is received by the class, it will be verified during processing.

NOTE: If the server does not attach the public certificate in the signed message, the server's public key must be specified in the recipient_cert property in order for verification to succeed.

ssl_accept_server_cert_encoded Property

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

def get_ssl_accept_server_cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...
def set_ssl_accept_server_cert_encoded(value: bytes) -> None: ...

Remarks

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The ssl_cert_store_type property denotes the type of the certificate store specified by ssl_cert_store. If the store is password protected, specify the password in ssl_cert_store_password.

ssl_cert_store is used in conjunction with the ssl_cert_subject property to specify client certificates. If ssl_cert_store has a value, and ssl_cert_subject or ssl_cert_encoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the ssl_cert_subject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

MYA certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys.
CACertifying authority certificates.
ROOTRoot certificates.

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

timeout Property

A timeout for the class.

Syntax

def get_timeout() -> int: ...
def set_timeout(value: int) -> None: ...

timeout = property(get_timeout, set_timeout)

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 do_events 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 fails with an error.

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.

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

Syntax

def get_trusted_cert_subject(trusted_cert_index: int) -> str: ...
def set_trusted_cert_subject(trusted_cert_index: int, value: str) -> None: ...

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 as follows:

FieldMeaning
CNCommon Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.
OOrganization
OUOrganizational Unit
LLocality
SState
CCountry
EEmail Address

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

The trusted_cert_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the trusted_cert_count property.

use_ssl Property

Use SSL to access the RemoteHost .

Syntax

def get_use_ssl() -> bool: ...
def set_use_ssl(value: bool) -> None: ...

use_ssl = property(get_use_ssl, set_use_ssl)

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

Use this property to determine whether the class uses SSL to connect with the remote_host.

This property is only valid when using version 2.0 of the protocol.

Note: Setting this property to True will set remote_port to 6619.

version Property

Which version of the OFTP protocol the class is using.

Syntax

def get_version() -> int: ...
def set_version(value: int) -> None: ...

version = property(get_version, set_version)

Default Value

3

Remarks

This property specifies which version of the OFTP protocol to use. Possible values are:

0 (oftpVer12) 1.2
1 (oftpVer13) 1.3
2 (oftpVer14) 1.4
3 (oftpVer20 - default) 2.0
The default value is oftpVer20 (Version 2.0).

Note: Version 2.0 (oftpVer20) of the protocol must be used when using security functions. The following properties are only applicable when using Version 2.0:

virtual_file_date Property

The date/time stamp for the virtual file.

Syntax

def get_virtual_file_date() -> str: ...
def set_virtual_file_date(value: str) -> None: ...

virtual_file_date = property(get_virtual_file_date, set_virtual_file_date)

Default Value

""

Remarks

Set this to the date/time stamp for the virtual file before sending. If this is not set when sending a file, the current date/time will be used. This property will accept various date formats, but will return the following format only: "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".

Supported date formats:

  • ddd, d MMM yy HH:mm:ss zzz
  • ddd, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz
  • d MMM yy HH:mm:ss zzz
  • d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz
  • dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss
  • ddd, d MMM yy HH:mm:ss zz
  • ddd, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zz
  • ddd, d MMM yy HH:mm:ss zzz
  • ddd, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz
  • ddd, d MMM yy HH:mm:ss z
  • ddd, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z
  • ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT'
  • dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy h:mm:ss tt
  • dddd, MMMM dd yyyy h:mm tt

  • yyyyMMddHHmmssffff
  • MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss

virtual_file_format Property

The structure of the outgoing file.

Syntax

def get_virtual_file_format() -> int: ...
def set_virtual_file_format(value: int) -> None: ...

virtual_file_format = property(get_virtual_file_format, set_virtual_file_format)

Default Value

0

Remarks

The following values are valid file formats for outgoing virtual files:

0 (Unstructured - default) The outgoing file is binary and has not structure. There are no records in this type of file.
1 (Text) The outgoing file is a text file that consists of lines containing no more than 2048 characters terminated by CRLF. This type contains no records.
2 (Fixed) The outgoing file is in fixed file format, which means all records are of the same length. For fixed files, the class expects the file to be in text format with each line containing the max_record_size characters terminated by a CRLF.
3 (Variable) The outgoing file is a variable file format, meaning all records are of variable length and are no longer than max_record_size. When using this format, the class will parse out each record as a line terminated by CRLF. Thus, this type of file must be a text file, and must contain lines with less than max_record_size characters.

Note: When either virtual_file_security_level has been set to a value other than slNone or compress has been set to true, all files become ffUnstructured except ffVariable files.

virtual_file_security_level Property

The level of security for the file.

Syntax

def get_virtual_file_security_level() -> int: ...
def set_virtual_file_security_level(value: int) -> None: ...

virtual_file_security_level = property(get_virtual_file_security_level, set_virtual_file_security_level)

Default Value

0

Remarks

When sending files, set this value to the level of security for the next virtual file to send. After receiving a file, this will be set to the level of security of the last file received.

When encrypting a file, recipient_cert must be set, and when signing a file, the certificate must be set.

The file will be processed to a temporary file before being sent.

This is only valid for version 2.0 of the protocol.

change_direction Method

Sends a Change Direction (CD) command.

Syntax

def change_direction() -> None: ...

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

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...

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

This method connects to the FTP server without logging in.

Syntax

def connect() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method establishes a connection with the remote_host 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

This method disconnects from the server without first logging off.

Syntax

def disconnect() -> None: ...

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.

do_events Method

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

def do_events() -> None: ...

Remarks

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

exchange_certificate Method

Exchange a certificate with the remote host.

Syntax

def exchange_certificate(certificate_store: str, certificate_exchange_type: int) -> None: ...

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:

0Request: The class will send the certificate file specified. The remote host will respond with a certificate of it's own. The response may be in a separate session.
1Replace: The class will send the certificate file specified. No certificate is expected in response. The certificate sent here invalidates any previous certificates the remote host has stored.
2Deliver: The class will send the certificate file specified. This is used to respond to a certificate request. It may also be used to send new additional certificates to the remote host. This will not invalidate previous certificates the remote host has stored.
When the remote host sends a certificate to the class the received certificate will be provided through the on_certificate_received event.

import_trusted_certs Method

Imports a list of trusted CA certificates.

Syntax

def import_trusted_certs() -> None: ...

Remarks

When import_trusted_certs is called the class will import the CA certificates from the source specified by TrustedCertsData into the trusted_certs 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

This method interrupts the current action.

Syntax

def interrupt() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method interrupts the current action. If you use send_file 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

Logoff from the OFTP server.

Syntax

def logoff() -> None: ...

Remarks

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

logon Method

Logon to the OFTP RemoteHost using the current client credentials.

Syntax

def logon() -> None: ...

Remarks

Logon to the OFTP server using the current client_ssid_code, client_sfid_code, and client_password. The component will also check the corresponding server credentials, server_ssid_code, server_sfid_code, and server_password.

receive_files Method

Receive any files queued to be sent from the server.

Syntax

def receive_files() -> None: ...

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 download_directory property.

reset Method

Resets the state of the control.

Syntax

def reset() -> None: ...

Remarks

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

send_end_response Method

Sends an EERP/NERP asynchronously.

Syntax

def send_end_response(virtual_file_name: str, virtual_file_date: str, destination: str, originator: str, creator: str, reason_code: int, reason_text: str, file_hash: str, signature: str) -> None: ...

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 on_end_transfer event to False. This instructs the class to not send a response automatically. Within the on_end_transfer 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 on_end_response 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:

ReasonCode ReasonText
3 User Code Not Known
4 Invalid Password
9 Unspecified Reason
11 Invalid FileName
12 Invalid Destination
13 Invalid Origin
14 Invalid Storage Record Format
15 Maximum Record Length Not Supported
16 File Size Too Big
20 Invalid Record Count
21 Invalid Byte Count
22 Access Method Failure
23 Duplicate File
24 File Direction Refused
25 Cipher Suite Not Supported
26 Encrypted File Not Allowed
27 Unencrypted File Not Allowed
28 Compression Not Allowed
29 Signed File Not Allowed
30 Unsigned File Not Allowed

33 File Decryption Failed
34 File Processing Failed
35 Not Delivered To Recipient
36 Not Acknowledged By Recipient
50 Transmission Stopped By The Operator
90 File Size Incompatible With Recipient's Protocol Version
99 Unspecified Reason

send_file Method

Send the specified file to the server.

Syntax

def send_file(local_file: str, virtual_file_name: str) -> None: ...

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

validate_cert Method

Validates the certificate with private key.

Syntax

def validate_cert() -> bool: ...

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 import_trusted_certs 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 trusted_certs 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.

validate_recipient_cert Method

Validates the recipient certificate.

Syntax

def validate_recipient_cert() -> bool: ...

Remarks

This method optionally validates the certificate specified by recipient_cert. 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 import_trusted_certs 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 trusted_certs 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.

on_accept_file Event

def on_accept_file() -> Callable[[OFTPClientAcceptFileEventParams], None]: ...
@on_accept_file.setter
def on_accept_file(event_hook: Callable[[OFTPClientAcceptFileEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

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 server_sfid_code

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 oftp_connection_download_directory 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.

ErrorCode ErrorMessage
1 Invalid filename.
2 Invalid destination.
3 Invalid origin.
4 Storage record format not supported.
5 Maximum record length not supported.

on_certificate_received Event

Fired when a certificate is received from the remote host.

Syntax

class OFTPClientCertificateReceivedEventParams(object):
  @property
  def certificate_file_name() -> str: ...

  @property
  def certificate_exchange_type() -> int: ...

# In class OFTPClient:
@property
def on_certificate_received() -> Callable[[OFTPClientCertificateReceivedEventParams], None]: ...
@on_certificate_received.setter
def on_certificate_received(event_hook: Callable[[OFTPClientCertificateReceivedEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

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 download_directory. After the file is written to download_directory 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:

0Request: The class received a certificate and request from the remote host. Respond using the exchange_certificate method using a CertificateExchangeType of 3 (Deliver). The response may be in a separate session.
1Replace: The class received a certificate from the remote host. No response is expected. The certificate received here invalidates any previously stored certificates for this configuration.
2Deliver: The class received a certificate from the remote host. This is either a response to a certificate request, or a new additional certificates from the remote host. This will not invalidate previous certificates stored for this configuration.

on_end_response Event

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

Syntax

class OFTPClientEndResponseEventParams(object):
  @property
  def virtual_file_name() -> str: ...

  @property
  def virtual_file_date() -> str: ...

  @property
  def destination() -> str: ...

def on_end_response() -> Callable[[OFTPClientEndResponseEventParams], None]: ...
@on_end_response.setter
def on_end_response(event_hook: Callable[[OFTPClientEndResponseEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

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:

0Received
1Sent
By default the class will only fire this event for received end responses. To configure the class to fire the event for both send and received end responses set FireEndResponseOnSend to True.

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 on_end_transfer 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 send_end_response 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:

ReasonCode ReasonText
3 User Code Not Known
4 Invalid Password

def on_end_transfer() -> Callable[[OFTPClientEndTransferEventParams], None]: ...
@on_end_transfer.setter
def on_end_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[OFTPClientEndTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The on_end_transfer 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.

0 (Client) The file originated from the client.
1 (Server) The file originated from the server.

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 send_end_response method to send the response at a later time. See send_end_response 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 send_end_response. See send_end_response 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:

def on_ssl_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[OFTPClientSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

on_ssl_status Event

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

OFTPClient Config Settings

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration 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.

OFTPClient Config Settings

AcceptAnySFIDCode:   Indicates that all SFID codes are acceptable.

This setting controls whether the class checks the SFID codes when receiving files. When set to False (Default) and a file is received the class will check the client and server SFID codes sent by the server against the values specified in client_sfid_code and server_sfid_code. If they do not match an error is returned. In some situations it is necessary to consider any SFID code valid. To disable checking the SFID codes sent by the server set this to True.

AllowRetry:   Whether to send a retry indicator when rejecting a file.

When the server sends a file and it is rejected for any reason, if this setting is set to True the class will send a retry indicator value to the server to specify the file may be retried later.

When set to False (default) the component will send a value indicating the server should not retry the send operation.

CertificateType:   Specifies the type of certificate being supplied.

By default the class will use the certificate set in the certificate property for all operations that require a certificate. This setting allows for different certificates to be set for specific operations. First, specify the CertificateType via this setting and then set the certificate property. For instance: component.Config("CertificateType=3"); component.Certificate = mySigningCertificate; Possible values are:

0 (default)All Operations
1Session Authentication
2Decryption
3Signing
4Receipt Signing
ConnectionType:   Specifies the type of connection that will be created.

Use the ConnectionType setting to tell the class which type of connection to create. The default value is 0 (Both) in which the class can both send and receive files. However you can limit the class to only be able to send or receive files by specifying a value of 1 (Send Only) or 2 (Receive Only). Valid values are:

0Both (Default)
1Send Only
2Receive Only
CreditCount:   Specifies the credit value.

This setting defines the maximum credit value to be sent in the initial connection (SSID command). The default value is 99 and the maximum value is 999. When connecting, the server will also indicate the value it wishes to use for the credit count. The smaller of the two values will be used. This setting may be queried after connecting to determine the negotiated value.

DeleteOnError:   Whether received files are deleted when there is an error during processing.

By default this value is True. When set to False and receiving a file, if the file is encrypted, signed, or compressed the file will be decrypted, verified, or decompressed. If there is an error during processing the original unprocessed file will be placed in download_directory. In that case you may choose what to do with the file based on the error reported during processing.

When this is set to True (default) and there is an error during processing the original unprocessed file will be deleted and no files will be placed in download_directory.

DisconnectAfterEndSession:   Determines if the connection is closed immediately after ending the session.

By default when logoff is called the class will close the TCP connection after ending the session (the ESID command is sent). To let the other side close the connection after it has received the end session command (ESID), set this to False.

EnforceProtocolVersion:   Requires the server to support the same OFTP version.

This settings controls the behavior when the server's OFTP version is different from the requested version. During the logon process the class will supply its OFTP version to the server. The server will respond with the OFTP version it is using for the connection. If the version is not the same, the action of the class depends on this setting.

When set to True, if the server's OFTP version does not match the client's version, the class fails with an error. When set to False (default), if the server's OFTP version does not match the client's version, the class will use the lowest mutually supported version.

ExchangeBufferSize:   Specifies the data exchange buffer size in bytes.

This setting defines the data exchange buffer size to be sent in the initial connection (SSID command) in bytes. The default value is 2048. When connecting, the server will also indicate the value it wishes to use for the data exchange buffer size. The smaller of the two values will be used. This setting may be queried after connecting to determine the negotiated value.

ExchangeCertStoreType:   Specifies the store type when loading a certificate to be exchanged.

This specifies the certificate store type when loading a certificate that will be sent to the remote party. This is only applicable when calling exchange_certificate. The default value is "8" which indicates the certificate will be loaded from a file on disk. When the certificate is not in a .cer format or is located in the Windows certificate store this setting should be set to the appropriate value before calling exchange_certificate.

For a list of possible values please see cert_store_type. Also see ExchangeCertSubject.

ExchangeCertSubject:   The subject of the certificate being exchanged.

This specifies the subject of the certificate being exchanged. This will be used to load the appropriate certificate when exchange_certificate is called. This is used in conjunction with ExchangeCertStoreType and is only necessary when loading a certificate from a store that may hold more than one certificate (such as a Windows certificate store).

FailOnUntrustedCert:   Whether or not to throw an exception when untrusted certificates are used.

When trusted_certs is populated the class will validate that loaded certificates were issued by a trusted CA in trusted_certs. This setting controls the behavior when an untrusted certificate is found. By default this value is True and the class will throw an exception. If this is set to False the class will fire the on_error event but the error will not be fatal and the operation will be allowed to continue.

FileDescription:   Additional description information sent with the file.

When sending a file this setting may be set to specify additional information. There is no restriction on the type of data supplied here. It may be set to a longer filename, or simply additional text data that you wish to pass to the receiver. The data supplied will be UTF-8 encoded by the class. The maximum length is 999 bytes (after UTF-8 encoding).

FileHashAlgorithm:   The hash algorithm to use when sending a file.

The file hash algorithm specified in this setting is used to calculate the hash sent along with an outgoing file. Possible values are:

0sha1
1sha256 (Default)
2sha512
FireEndResponseOnSend:   Determines if the EndResponse event is fired for outgoing EERP and NERPs.

If set to True (default) the class will fire the on_end_response event for both sent and received end responses. If set to False the on_end_response event will fire only for received (incoming) end responses. The Direction parameter of on_end_response determines if the end response is being sent or received. The default value is True.

FollowRedirects:   Determines behavior when importing trusted certificates and a HTTP redirect is returned.

When TrustedCertsData holds a URL and import_trusted_certs is called the class makes a HTTP request to obtain the trusted certificates. If the server returns a HTTP redirect this setting specifies how the class will handle it. Possible values are:

0 (default) Never follow redirects. An exception will be thrown.
1 Always follow redirects. The redirect will be automatically followed.
2 Follow same scheme redirects. Follow the redirect if it matches the same scheme (http:// or https://).
FriendlyLogFormat:   Determines if a more friendly format is applied to PITrail event out.

This setting effects the content of the Data parameter of the on_pi_trail event. By default this setting is true and a format designed to be more easily read is used. If set to false the Data parameter will hold the raw unformatted protocol level content.

LogLevel:   The level of information to log.

This setting specifies the level of detail that is logged to the on_log event. Possible values are:

0 (None) No messages are logged.
1 (Info - Default) Informational events such as OFTP commands which are sent and received.
2 (Verbose) Detailed data such as individual packet information is logged.
3 (Debug) Debug data including all relevant sent and received bytes are logged.
MaskSensitive:   Masks passwords in logs.

The default value is True. When set to True, the class will mask passwords that otherwise would appear in its logs.

ReceiptHashAlgorithm:   The receipt hash algorithm to request when sending a file.

The receipt hash algorithm specified in this setting is sent to the receiving party when a file is sent, and the receiving party should use this value when calculating the hash returned in the EERP or NERP receipt. Possible values are:

0sha1 (Default)
1sha256
2sha512
ReceivedFileDateTime:   The datetime of the file being received.

This setting may be queried to obtain the datetime of the received file.

ReceivedFileDescription:   Additional description information received with the file.

Query this setting after receiving a file to obtain any additional information provided by the server. The data will be UTF-8 decoded by the class.

ReceivedFileEncryptionAlg:   The encryption algorithm used for the file being received.

This setting may be queried to obtain the encryption algorithm used for encryption of the file being received. The possible values are:

0 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard).
1 AES (Advanced Encryption Standard with key length of 128).
ReceivedFileName:   Returns the name of the received file.

This setting may be queried inside the on_end_transfer event to obtain the name of the received file on disk. This includes the full path to the file on disk.

ReceivedFileNameFormat:   The name format of received files.

This setting specifies the format used when determining the local filename of a received file. The use of macros is supported to provide flexibility. This setting may include one or more of the following values:

  • %VirtualFileName%
  • %VirtualFileDate%
  • %Originator%
  • %Destination%
  • %UserData%
  • %CurrentTime%
  • %GUID%
An example value is "%VirtualFileName%_%VirtualFileDate%_%Destination%". The default value is "%VirtualFileName%".

The '%VirtualFileDate%' macro also supports date formatting through the use of an optional DateTime format string. The format of the macro with the date format string included is:

  • %VirtualFileDate:CustomFormat%
For example: "%VirtualFileDate:yyyyMMddHHmmssffff%"

The name format of received files.

This setting specifies the format used when determining the local filename of a received file. The use of macros is supported to provide flexibility. This setting may include one or more of the following values:

  • %VirtualFileName%
  • %VirtualFileDate%
  • %Originator%
  • %Destination%
  • %UserData%
  • %CurrentTime%
  • %GUID%
An example value is "%VirtualFileName%_%VirtualFileDate%_%Destination%". The default value is "%VirtualFileName%".

The '%VirtualFileDate%' macro also supports date formatting through the use of an optional DateTime format string. The format of the macro with the date format string included is:

  • %VirtualFileDate:CustomFormat%
For example: "%VirtualFileDate:yyyyMMddHHmmssffff%"

ReceivedFileNameFormat:   The name format of received files.

This setting specifies the format used when determining the local filename of a received file. The use of macros is supported to provide flexibility. This setting may include one or more of the following values:

  • %VirtualFileName%
  • %VirtualFileDate%
  • %Originator%
  • %Destination%
  • %UserData%
  • %CurrentTime%
  • %GUID%
An example value is "%VirtualFileName%_%VirtualFileDate%_%Destination%". The default value is "%VirtualFileName%".

The '%VirtualFileDate%' macro also supports date formatting through the use of an optional DateTime format string. The format of the macro with the date format string included is:

  • %VirtualFileDate:CustomFormat%
For example: "%VirtualFileDate:yyyyMMddHHmmssffff%"

The name format of received files.

This setting specifies the format used when determining the local filename of a received file. The use of macros is supported to provide flexibility. This setting may include one or more of the following values:

  • %VirtualFileName%
  • %VirtualFileDate%
  • %Originator%
  • %Destination%
  • %UserData%
  • %CurrentTime%
  • %GUID%
An example value is "%VirtualFileName%_%VirtualFileDate%_%Destination%". The default value is "%VirtualFileName%".

The '%VirtualFileDate%' macro also supports date formatting through the use of an optional DateTime format string. The format of the macro with the date format string included is:

  • %VirtualFileDate:CustomFormat%
For example: "%VirtualFileDate:yyyyMMddHHmmssffff%"

RecipientCertificateType:   Specifies the type of recipient certificate being supplied.

By default the class will use the certificate set in the recipient_cert property for all operations that require a certificate. This setting allows for different certificates to be set for specific operations. First, specify the RecipientCertificateType via this setting and then set the recipient_cert property. For instance: component.Config("RecipientCertificateType=3"); component.RecipientCert = mySignatureVerificationCertificate; Possible values are:

0 (default)All Operations
1Session Authentication
2Encryption
3Signature Verification
4Receipt Signature Verification
Retry:   Indicates whether the recipient allows the send to be retried.

When sending files the recipient may reject the file for a number of reasons. The recipient may indicate that the operation can be re-attempted later. Query this setting after a send attempt was rejected to determine if the recipient allows retries. This setting will return either True or False.

SendCDAfterEFPA:   Specifies whether a CD is always sent after receiving an EFPA.

When sending a file the recipient will respond with an EFPA once the file is received. Within this response is an indicator which tells the sender whether to issue a CD (Change Direction) command. The indicator is read by the class and a CD command is sent if requested. If a CD is not requested then no CD is sent.

When set to True, this overrides the default behavior and will always send a CD command regardless of whether the indicator is set in the EFPA.

This should only be set if there is a specific reason to do so. In most cases it is not necessary.

TempPath:   The path of a directory where temporary files will be created.

Under certain conditions, the class will create temporary files before processing a file. The location of the temporary files is determined by this setting. Temporary files are created if any of the following conditions are true.

Note that virtual_file_security_level is only applicable when version is set to oftpVer20.

TrustedCertsData:   Specifies the source to be used when importing trusted certificates.

When import_trusted_certs is called it will attempt to import certificates from the location specified here. By default this is the URL provided by Odette (http://www.odette.org/TSL/TSL_OFTP2.XML). This is the live list of CA certificates hosted by Odette. This may also be set to an absolute file path to load certificates from an offline source, or a string value containing the trusted CA certificates.

VirtualFileDateFormat:   The DateTime format of received files.

This setting specifies the DateTime format used by the class when reporting the VirtualFileDate of received files. The default format is "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss".

When using OFTP v2.0 If the class is configured to respond to EERP and NERP messages asynchronously this should be set to the value "yyyyMMddHHmmssffff" or a similar format that includes the same level of accuracy. This is required to ensure that when calling send_end_response the value saved from within the on_end_transfer event has the necessary data when sending a response.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitive:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to True to mask sensitive data. The default is True.

This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

ProcessIdleEvents:   Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.

If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

SelectWaitMillis:   The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.

If there are no events to process when do_events is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

UseFIPSCompliantAPI:   Tells the class whether or not to use FIPS certified APIs.

When set to True, the class will utilize the underlying operating system's certified APIs. Java editions, regardless of OS, utilize Bouncy Castle FIPS, while all the other Windows editions make use of Microsoft security libraries.

FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the UseFIPSCompliantAPI configuration setting to True. This is a static setting which applies to all instances of all classes of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.

For more details please see the FIPS 140-2 Compliance article.

Note: This setting is only applicable on Windows.

Note: Enabling FIPS-compliance requires a special license; please contact sales@nsoftware.com for details.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to False, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to True tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

On Windows, this setting is set to False by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to True by default.

To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.
