Connection property
| Description
|
|---|---|
Runtime Environment
| The name of the runtime environment that contains the Secure Agent that you want to run the tasks.
|
Host
| The host name or IP address of the server.
|
Port
| The port number to use for connecting to the server. If left blank, the default port number is 21.
|
Username
| User name to connect to the FTPS server.
|
Password
| Password to connect to the FTPS server.
|
Folder Path
| The directory to use after connecting to the server.
|
Use passive mode
| Indicates whether the connection uses
Passive or
Active mode. Specify
Yes to use
Passive mode. Specify
No to use
Active mode.
The default value is
Yes .
In Active mode, the server will attempt to connect back to a port on the connection client in order to perform the data transfer.
In Passive mode, the server does not need to connect back to a port on the connection client, which is a more firewall-friendly mode. Therefore, if you have problems with connecting to the server, you may want to change the mode to Passive by selecting
Yes for this option.
|
Data Connection Start Port
| The starting port number to use for the data connection.
|
Data Connection End Port
| The ending port number to use for the data connection.
|
Timeout
| The number of seconds to wait when attempting to connect to the server. A timeout will occur if the connection cannot be established in the specified amount of time. If left blank, the default timeout is 120 seconds.
|
Connection Retry Attempts
| The number of times to connect to retry the FTPS connection if a connection cannot be established. This setting is used for both the initial connection and any reconnect attempts due to lost connections. If left blank, then no retries will be attempted.
|
Connection Retry Interval
| The number of seconds to wait between each connection retry attempt.
For instance, if you want to retry to connect up to 10 times with a five second delay between retries, then specify
10 for the
Connection Retry Attempts and
5 for the
Connection Retry Interval.
|
Control Encoding
| If left blank, the connection uses the ISO standard ISO-8859-1. If supported by the server, other encodings like UTF-8 can be specified to support international characters.
|
Trusted Server
| Specify whether the FTPS server is a trusted server. The FTPS Connector only supports a trusted server.
|
List Parser
| The list parser to use for the server connection. If the field is empty, the Advanced FTPS Connector tries to use the MLSD parser. If the server does not support the MLSD parser, the connector uses the UNIX parser. If you experience problems listing directories, select a different list parser.
|
Date Format
| This date format is applied if the server returns a date that is different from the selected list parser default. If your location requires a different date format (for example, d MMM yyyy), specify the date format in this field. Not all list parsers support the date format setting. List parsers that do not support the date format setting will ignore any user specified values.
|
Recent Date Format
| Specify the date format to use when parsing the recent last modified date for each file. The recent date format applies in UNIX-based systems and appears on entries less than a year old. If your location requires a specific date format (for example, d MMM HH:mm), specify that pattern in this field. Not all list parsers support the recent date format setting. List parsers that do not support the recent date format setting will ignore any user-specified values.
