Manual Put

Manual Put

The Manual Put element allows you upload a file to FTP servers that do not support full file directory paths.
Field
Definition
Basic Tab
Label
Specify a label for this action.
Source File
Specify the path and file name of a single file to upload.
Destination File
Specify the destination file. Unlike the regular Put action, the specified file name/path will not be altered in any manner and will be sent to the FTP server as is in the PUT request.
Transfer Options Tab
Data Type
Specify the data type to use when transferring the files. The default value is 'auto' which uses the file extensions and/or the content type of the file to determine the correct upload mode.
Default Value: auto
Preserve Timestamp
Select the desired option for timestamp preservation. The timestamp preservation allows the destination files to have the same modification timestamp as the source files. Not all servers support the timestamp preservation feature.
Default Value: none
Verify Checksum
Specify whether or not to enable checksum verification. Checksum verification ensures that the source file is exactly the same as the destination file after a successful transfer. Please note that not all FTP servers support checksum verification, in which case you must turn off checksum verification to be able to transfer files. Also, transferring files in ASCII mode may result in checksum mismatch. Please make sure to explicitly set the Data Type to binary or image.
Default Value: false
Checksum Algorithm
Specify the algorithm to use for checksum verification. Some FTP servers implemented a proprietary command called XCRC for getting the checksum of the remote file. Most recent FTP standards recommend implementing a command called MD5, which uses the MD5 algorithm for calculating the checksums. Depending on the algorithm you choose, an appropriate command will be sent to the FTP server to request the checksum. The same algorithm will be used for calculating the checksum of local files.
Default Value: MD5
Output Variables Tab
Processed Source Files Variable
If desired, specify the name of a variable which will contain the file on the local system that was successfully uploaded. This variable will be of type File List and may be used in subsequent tasks that accept a File List input variable. The variable will be created if it does not exist.
Number of Files Uploaded Variable
If desired, specify the name of a variable which will contain the number of files uploaded. The variable may be used in subsequent tasks. The variable will be created if it does not exist.
This task uses the File Set Elements. The field definitions for the File Set Elements can be found on the File Lists and File Sets topic.
