FTP Adapter

Properties   Configuration Settings  

The FTP Adapter adds SSL-enabled FTP send and receive capabilities to your BizTalk Server.

Remarks

The FTP Adapter adds a complete FTP client to your BizTalk Server that enables it with plaintext or SSL-secured file download and upload capability.

FTP Receive Adapter

The FTP Receive Adapter requires that a single property be set: FTPServer. You may also set an FTPPort if the server is not set to the default protocol port. If your FTP server requires authentication, you should set the User, Password and/or Account properties. If you wish to enable SSL, you can turn it on by setting an appropriate SSLCert and SSLStartMode as well as supplying an SSLAcceptServerCert.

The adapter will connect to the FTP server every PollingInterval and list the directory specified by RemotePath. All files that match the FileMask will be downloaded and submitted to the BizTalk Message Engine as individual messages. In order to guarantee that files are not downloaded multiple times, you may set the DeleteMode. If you wish to do any other PRE- or POST-GET operation, you can specify them as scripts through the BeforeGet and AfterGet properties, respectively.

FTP Send Adapter

The FTP Send Adapter requires both an FTPServer and a RemoteFile. If your server does not operate on the default FTP port, you will need to specify the correct port via FTPPort. For servers that do not allow anonymous uploads, you may also need to set User, Password, and/or Account. To enable SSL, you should select a client SSLCert and a SSLAcceptServerCert as well as an SSLStartMode.

The adapter will connect to the FTP server whenever it has a message to send. The adapter will attempt to upload to the specified RemotePath. In order to prevent parallel processing by another application before your upload is complete, you may need to set a temporary extension via TemporaryUploadExtension. If Overwrite is set to True, the adapter will delete or overwrite remote files as necessary to complete the operation.

If you wish to do any other PRE- or POST-PUT operation, you can specify them as scripts through the BeforePut and AfterPut properties, respectively.

Please refer to the section on adapter configuration for a description of how to configure receive locations and send ports for this adapter.
