Hi,

In XI we have two types of data that are XML and Non-XML.

If we want to send the XML data to XI then we use the File.

If we want to send the Non-XML data to XI then we use the File content conversion.

In file it directly goes to the XI server, but in File content conversion it should converts that data to XML after send to XI, because the XI understands only XML messages.

In ID

File System NFS : Suppose the source data is available in the same server in some directory or in other system in the same organization then we use this.

FTP : Suppose the source data is comming from other system(not our organization) then we go for the FTP. If we use FTP we should give that system details, like IP address,....
