Managed File Transfer User Guide

Put Files

Put Files

The Put Files element allows you to upload files to an FTPS server.
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. A file name is required, it may not be a directory name only.
Source Files Variable
Specify the name of a variable of type File List which contains the files to upload to the remote server. For example, ${variableName}.
Destination File
Specify the destination file. This is valid only when uploading a single file.
Destination Directory
Specify the directory on the remote system to which the files should be uploaded. The directory may be an absolute path or relative to the current working directory.
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 download 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
File Name Prefix
Specify a string to attach to the beginning of the destination file names.
File Name Suffix
Specify a string to attach to the end of the destination file names.
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
Destination Files Variable
If desired, specify the name of a variable which will contain the files on the remote system that were successfully uploaded. This variable will be of type Remote File List and may be used in subsequent tasks that accept a Remote 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.
Processed Source Files Variable
If desired, specify the name of a variable which will contain the files on the local system that were succesfully 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.
