Managed File Transfer

is packaged with an HTTPS service that allows Web Users to login to it from any web browser. Once logged in, that user can upload, download, copy, rename, and delete files from within their home directory. The

Managed File Transfer

HTTPS Task can perform these same functions from within your Project. Although you can specify the connection information on a per task basis, it is always recommended to create a Informatica HTTPS Resource.

Most Web User functions can be executed from within

Managed File Transfer

using the Informatica HTTPS task. Along with uploading and downloading files from a

Managed File Transfer

Web User account, the Informatica HTTPS Task can send Secure Mail packages to email recipients using the Send Package element. The Send Package element allows you to specify which files will be placed on a secure

Managed File Transfer

server for download by an authorized recipient. The process sends the recipient an email containing a link they use to securely access the files.

Checksum verification can be added to ensure that the source file is exactly the same as the destination file after a transfer completes successfully. This option is available on the Transfer Options tab in the Upload, Download, and Upload Raw Data elements. SHA1, CRC32 and MD5 algorithms are supported with the default and recommended algorithm being SHA1. If the calculated checksum values do not match, an error is written to the job log.
