OFTPClient Class

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The OFTPClient class 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.

Client's SFID code.

Syntax

getClientSFIDCode(): string;
setClientSFIDCode(clientSFIDCode: string): void;

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.

OFTPClient.ClientSSIDCode Property

The client's SSID code.

Syntax

getClientSSIDCode(): string;
setClientSSIDCode(clientSSIDCode: string): void;

Default Value

Remarks

The identification code of the client. 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 Code	A 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. NOTE: This field may be of variable length up to 14 characters long.
Computer Sub-Address	A locally assigned address which uniquely identifies a system within an organization (defined by an Organization Identifier). NOTE: This field may be of variable length up to 6 characters long.

OFTPClient.Compress Property

Whether or not to compress the outgoing file.

Syntax

isCompress(): boolean;
setCompress(compress: boolean): void;

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

When sending a file to the trading partner, set this to true for the class to compress the file before sending. The file will first be compressed to a temporary file before being sent.

Note that this is only applicable when Version 2.0 of the protocol is used as indicated by Version.

This property is not available at design time.

OFTPClient.Connected Property

Shows whether the class is connected.

Syntax

isConnected(): boolean;

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

Use this property to determine whether the class is connected to the remote host or not.

OFTPClient.DownloadDirectory Property

Download directory.

Syntax

getDownloadDirectory(): string;
setDownloadDirectory(downloadDirectory: string): void;

Default Value

"./"

Remarks

This property contains the location on disk of the folder the class will write received files to. The default for this property is "./", which is the current working directory.

Note: If this property is set to empty string data will not be written to disk and instead will be available through the Transfer event.

OFTPClient.EncryptionAlgorithm Property

The encryption algorithm.

Syntax

getEncryptionAlgorithm(): OFTPClientEncryptionAlgorithms;
setEncryptionAlgorithm(encryptionAlgorithm: OFTPClientEncryptionAlgorithms): void;

enum OFTPClientEncryptionAlgorithms {
  encra3DES,
  encraAES
}

3DES (0)	Triple Data Encryption Standard.
AES (1)	Advanced Encryption Standard with key length of 128.

This property is not available at design time.

OFTPClient.Firewall Property

A set of properties related to firewall access.

Syntax

getFirewall(): Firewall;
setFirewall(firewall: Firewall): void;

Default Value

Remarks

This is a Firewall-type property, which contains fields describing the firewall through which the class will attempt to connect.

Please refer to the Firewall type for a complete list of fields.

OFTPClient.LocalHost Property

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Syntax

getLocalHost(): string;
setLocalHost(localHost: string): void;

Default Value

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

OFTPClient.MaxRecordSize Property

The maximum length of a given record.

Syntax

getMaxRecordSize(): number;
setMaxRecordSize(maxRecordSize: number): void;

Default Value

Remarks

This value determines the maximum length for a record in the outgoing virtual file. When VirtualFileFormat has been set to ffUnstructured or ffText, this value must be zero. When ffFixed or ffVariable, this must be set to a value greater than 0, containing the maximum line length of the outgoing file.

OFTPClient.Overwrite Property

Whether or not the class should overwrite files during transfer.

Syntax

isOverwrite(): boolean;
setOverwrite(overwrite: boolean): void;

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

This property is a value indicating whether or not the class should overwrite downloaded files. If Overwrite is false, an error will be thrown whenever the local file exists before a receive operation.

OFTPClient.RecipientCert Property

The recipient certificate of the message.

Syntax

getRecipientCert(): Certificate;
setRecipientCert(recipientCert: Certificate): void;

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies the certificate to use when verifying signed files and receipts as well as encrypting files to be sent. This property must be set when SecureAuthentication has been set to true, sending a file and VirtualFileSecurityLevel has been set to slEncrypted or slEncryptedAndSigned, SignedReceipt has been set to true, or a signed file is being received and the server has not included the certificate in the signature.

The RecipientCert property must be filled out with a valid public key Certificate type object. To set a certificate, you may set the field to the encoded certificate. To select a certificate, use the and fields.

This property is not available at design time.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

OFTPClient.RemoteHost Property

The domain name or IP address of the OFTP server.

Syntax

getRemoteHost(): string;
setRemoteHost(remoteHost: string): void;

Default Value

Remarks

The RemoteHost 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 RemoteHost property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the RemoteHost 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.

OFTPClient.RemotePort Property

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

Syntax

getRemotePort(): number;
setRemotePort(remotePort: number): void;

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 UseSSL is set to True this property will be set to 6619.

This property is not available at design time.

OFTPClient.SecureAuthentication Property

Whether or not the class should perform secure Odette authentication.

Syntax

isSecureAuthentication(): boolean;
setSecureAuthentication(secureAuthentication: boolean): void;

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 RecipientCert properties must be populated when this property is set to true.

This is only valid for version 2.0 of the protocol.

This property is not available at design time.

OFTPClient.ServerPassword Property

The server's password.

Syntax

getServerPassword(): string;
setServerPassword(serverPassword: string): void;

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 Code	A 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. NOTE: This field may be of variable length up to 14 characters long.
Computer Sub-Address	A locally assigned address which uniquely identifies a system within an organization (defined by an Organization Identifier). NOTE: This field may be of variable length up to 6 characters long.

OFTPClient.SignedReceipt Property

Whether or not to require signed receipts.

Syntax

isSignedReceipt(): boolean;
setSignedReceipt(signedReceipt: boolean): void;

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 RecipientCert property in order for verification to succeed.

This property is not available at design time.

OFTPClient.SSLAcceptServerCert Property

Instructs the class to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.

Syntax

getSSLAcceptServerCert(): Certificate;
setSSLAcceptServerCert(SSLAcceptServerCert: Certificate): void;

Default Value

Remarks

If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the class will normally terminate the connection with an error.

You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.

Note: This functionality is provided only for cases in which you otherwise know that you are communicating with the right server. If used improperly, this property may create a security breach. Use it at your own risk.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

OFTPClient.SSLCert Property

The certificate to be used during Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.

Syntax

getSSLCert(): Certificate;
setSSLCert(SSLCert: Certificate): void;

Default Value

Remarks

This property includes the digital certificate that the class will use during SSL negotiation. Set this property to a valid certificate before starting SSL negotiation. To set a certificate, you may set the field to the encoded certificate. To select a certificate, use the store and subject fields.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

OFTPClient.Timeout Property

This property includes the timeout for the class.

Syntax

getTimeout(): number;
setTimeout(timeout: number): void;

Default Value

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 .

Note: By default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, that is, 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.

OFTPClient.TrustedCerts Property

A collection of trusted CA certificates.

Syntax

getTrustedCerts(): CertificateList;
setTrustedCerts(trustedCerts: CertificateList): void;

Default Value

Remarks

If this collection is populated the class will validate any certificates that are loaded against the CA certificates specified here.

If this collection is not populated no validation will occur. Certificates are imported into this collection by calling the ImportTrustedCerts method.

This property is not available at design time.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

OFTPClient.UseSSL Property

Use SSL to access the RemoteHost .

Syntax

isUseSSL(): boolean;
setUseSSL(useSSL: boolean): void;

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

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

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

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

This property is not available at design time.

OFTPClient.Version Property

Which version of the OFTP protocol the class is using.

Syntax

getVersion(): OFTPClientVersions;
setVersion(version: OFTPClientVersions): void;

enum OFTPClientVersions {
  oftpVer12,
  oftpVer13,
  oftpVer14,
  oftpVer20
}

Default Value

Remarks

OFTPClient.VirtualFileFormat Property

The structure of the outgoing file.

Syntax

getVirtualFileFormat(): OFTPClientVirtualFileFormats;
setVirtualFileFormat(virtualFileFormat: OFTPClientVirtualFileFormats): void;

enum OFTPClientVirtualFileFormats {
  ffUnstructured,
  ffText,
  ffFixed,
  ffVariable
}

Default Value

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 MaxRecordSize 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 MaxRecordSize. 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 MaxRecordSize characters.

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

This property is not available at design time.

OFTPClient.VirtualFileSecurityLevel Property

The level of security for the file.

Syntax

getVirtualFileSecurityLevel(): OFTPClientVirtualFileSecurityLevels;
setVirtualFileSecurityLevel(virtualFileSecurityLevel: OFTPClientVirtualFileSecurityLevels): void;

enum OFTPClientVirtualFileSecurityLevels {
  slNone,
  slEncrypted,
  slSigned,
  slEncryptedAndSigned
}

Default Value

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, RecipientCert 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.

This property is not available at design time.

OFTPClient.changeDirection Method

Sends a Change Direction (CD) command.

Syntax

async oftpclient.changeDirection(): Promise<void>

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.

OFTPClient.config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

async oftpclient.config(configurationString : string): Promise<string>

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.

OFTPClient.connect Method

This method connects to the FTP server without logging in.

Syntax

async oftpclient.connect(): Promise<void>

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.

OFTPClient.disconnect Method

This method disconnects from the server without first logging off.

Syntax

async oftpclient.disconnect(): Promise<void>

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.

OFTPClient.doEvents Method

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

async oftpclient.doEvents(): Promise<void>

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.

OFTPClient.exchangeCertificate Method

Exchange a certificate with the remote host.

Syntax

async oftpclient.exchangeCertificate(certificateStore : string, certificateExchangeType : number): Promise<void>

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:


0	Request: 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.
1	Replace: 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.
2	Deliver: 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 CertificateReceived event.

OFTPClient.importTrustedCerts Method

Imports a list of trusted CA certificates.

Syntax

async oftpclient.importTrustedCerts(): Promise<void>

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).

OFTPClient.interrupt Method

This method interrupts the current action.

Syntax

async oftpclient.interrupt(): Promise<void>

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.

OFTPClient.logoff Method

Logoff from the OFTP server.

Syntax

async oftpclient.logoff(): Promise<void>

Remarks

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

OFTPClient.logon Method

Logon to the OFTP RemoteHost using the current client credentials.

Syntax

async oftpclient.logon(): Promise<void>

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.

OFTPClient.receiveFiles Method

Receive any files queued to be sent from the server.

Syntax

async oftpclient.receiveFiles(): Promise<void>

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.

OFTPClient.reset Method

Resets the state of the control.

Syntax

async oftpclient.reset(): Promise<void>

Remarks

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

OFTPClient.sendEndResponse Method

Sends an EERP/NERP asynchronously.

Syntax

async oftpclient.sendEndResponse(virtualFileName : string, virtualFileDate : string, destination : string, originator : string, creator : string, reasonCode : number, reasonText : string, fileHash : string, signature : string): Promise<void>

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:


ReasonCode	ReasonText
3	User Code Not Known

OFTPClient.sendFile Method

Send the specified file to the server.

Syntax

async oftpclient.sendFile(localFile : string, virtualFileName : string): Promise<void>

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.

OFTPClient.validateCert Method

Validates the certificate with private key.

Syntax

async oftpclient.validateCert(): Promise<boolean>

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.

OFTPClient.validateRecipientCert Method

Validates the recipient certificate.

Syntax

async oftpclient.validateRecipientCert(): Promise<boolean>

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.

OFTPClient.AcceptFile Event

Fired when the client receives a file.

Syntax

oftpclient.on('AcceptFile', listener: (e: {readonly virtualFileName: string, readonly virtualFileDate: string, readonly destination: string, readonly originator: string, accept: boolean, fileName: string, overwrite: boolean, errorCode: number, errorDescription: string}) => void )

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.


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

OFTPClient.CertificateReceived Event

Fired when a certificate is received from the remote host.

Syntax

oftpclient.on('CertificateReceived', listener: (e: {readonly certificateFileName: string, readonly certificateExchangeType: number}) => void )

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:


0	Request: The class received a certificate and request from the remote host. Respond using the ExchangeCertificate method using a CertificateExchangeType of 3 (Deliver). The response may be in a separate session.
1	Replace: 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.
2	Deliver: 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.

OFTPClient.EndResponse Event

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

Syntax

oftpclient.on('EndResponse', listener: (e: {readonly virtualFileName: string, readonly virtualFileDate: string, readonly destination: string, readonly originator: string, readonly creator: string, readonly reasonCode: number, readonly reasonText: string, fileHash: string, readonly signature: string, readonly direction: number}) => void )

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:


0	Received
1	Sent

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 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:


ReasonCode	ReasonText
3	User Code Not Known

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:

Default Value: ""

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:


Field	Meaning
CN	Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.

Constructors

public Certificate();

Creates a instance whose properties can be set. This is useful for use with when generating new certificates.

public Certificate(String certificateFile);

Opens CertificateFile and reads out the contents as an X.509 public key.

public Certificate(byte[] encoded);

Parses Encoded as an X.509 public key.

public Certificate(int storeType, String store, String storePassword, String subject);

StoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store.

After the store has been successfully opened, the class will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN). The Subject parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.

public Certificate(int storeType, String store, String storePassword, String subject, String configurationString);

ConfigurationString is a newline-separated list of name-value pairs that may be used to modify the default behavior. Possible values include "PersistPFXKey", which shows whether or not the PFX key is persisted after performing operations with the private key. This correlates to the PKCS12_NO_PERSIST_KEY CryptoAPI option. The default value is True (the key is persisted). "Thumbprint" - an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load. When specified, this value is used to select the certificate in the store. This is applicable to the cstUser , cstMachine , cstPublicKeyFile , and cstPFXFile store types. "UseInternalSecurityAPI" shows whether the platform (default) or the internal security API is used when performing certificate-related operations.

public Certificate(int storeType, String store, String storePassword, byte[] encoded);

After the store has been successfully opened, the class will load Encoded as an X.509 certificate and search the opened store for a corresponding private key.

public Certificate(int storeType, byte[] store, String storePassword, String subject);

StoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a byte array containing the certificate data. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store.

public Certificate(int storeType, byte[] store, String storePassword, String subject, String configurationString);

public Certificate(int storeType, byte[] store, String storePassword, byte[] encoded);

After the store has been successfully opened, the class will load Encoded as an X.509 certificate and search the opened store for a corresponding private key.

Config Settings (class ipworksedi.oftpclient)

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 ClientSFIDCode and ServerSFIDCode. 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
1	Session Authentication
2	Decryption
3	Signing
4	Receipt 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:


0	Both (Default)
1	Send Only
2	Receive 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 DownloadDirectory. 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 DownloadDirectory.

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 . 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 ExchangeCertificate. 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 ExchangeCertificate.

For a list of possible values please see CertificateStoreType. 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 ExchangeCertificate 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 TrustedCerts is populated the class will validate that loaded certificates were issued by a trusted CA in TrustedCerts. 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 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:


0	sha1
1	sha256 (Default)
2	sha512

FireEndResponseOnSend: Determines if the EndResponse event is fired for outgoing EERP and NERPs.

If set to True (default) the class will fire the EndResponse event for both sent and received end responses. If set to False the EndResponse event will fire only for received (incoming) end responses. The Direction parameter of EndResponse 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 ImportTrustedCerts 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 PITrail 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 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.

MaskSensitiveData: 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:


0	sha1 (Default)
1	sha256
2	sha512

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 EndTransfer 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.

%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.

%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.

%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 RecipientCert 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 RecipientCert property. For instance: component.Config("RecipientCertificateType=3"); component.RecipientCert = mySignatureVerificationCertificate; Possible values are:


0 (default)	All Operations
1	Session Authentication
2	Encryption
3	Signature Verification
4	Receipt 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.

Compress is true
VirtualFileSecurityLevel is set to slEncrypted
VirtualFileSecurityLevel is set to slSigned
VirtualFileSecurityLevel is set to slEncryptedAndSigned

Note that VirtualFileSecurityLevel is only applicable when Version is set to oftpVer20.

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

When ImportTrustedCerts 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 SendEndResponse the value saved from within the EndTransfer 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).

LicenseInfo: Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

Product: The product the license is for.
Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
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.

MaskSensitiveData: 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.

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.

This setting is set to false by default on all platforms.
