FTP get

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

here i am facing some problem regarding piking a file from FTP using FTP get.

As per the client talks we came to know that the folder is not in a shared mode . we need to get the file using FTP get command. can anybody faced the similar situation. please let me know any ideas.

As i followed the google in searching for FTP get. this "GET" is a command which gets a single file from the remote system.

One more problem is " Triggering the interface" . with out getting this file into XI we cant trigger this interface. this is my problem please any one hlp me.

Hi Ramana,

see your ftp folder will be in the ftp root directory...............you can create a sender file adapter with transport protocol FTP and give this ftp folder in source directory and give the ftp username and password...........then XI can directly fetch your file from your FTP server and then your interface will be triggered................

but if you want to create a FTP utility for some specific reason, then you can use MGET command to get multiple files from your FTP server to your XI server folder and then by configuring a sender file adapter with transport protocol file system(NFS), you can trigger your interface by getting your source file picked locally in XI server by your this sender file adapter.

Hi Ramana,

i think you did not got my point.............let me explain again..........see your ftp folder will be in the ftp root directory... ............... you have 2 options:

1.you can create a sender file adapter with transport protocol FTP and give this ftp folder in source directory and give the ftp username and password...........then XI can directly fetch your file from your FTP server by this sender file adapter and then your interface will be triggered................

2. if you want to create a FTP utility for some specific reason, then you can use MGET command to get multiple files from your FTP server to your XI server folder.........then you have FTPed your files from ftp server to XI server by this script utility wchich will be running on XI server as a scheduled OS job,,,,,,,, and then by configuring a sender file adapter with transport protocol file system(NFS), you can trigger your interface by getting your source file picked locally in XI server by your this sender file adapter.

for details regarding configuring sender file adapter, please see the below link:

Hi Rajeev,

i got your point now. but for making XI to pick the files from the FTP folder..... the folder must be a shared folder. am i right . but here the folder is not in shared. how can an XI server pick the files from this folder. please guide me.

Thanks,

Hi Ramana,

i think without sharing the folder also, XI can pick the file by sender file adapter using transport protocol FTP.............

so try configuring the sender file adapter for FTP with the corrent data...............then i think XI will pick your source file directly by file adapter even though your folder is not shared.........since your folder will be inside ftp root folder, so XI will be able to access it by the FTP username you will provide in sender file comm channel configuration in ID.
