File Transfer (FTP/SFTP) Configuration

The File Transfer (FTP/SFTP) Action grants designers the ability to transfer generated documents from SmartIQ to a remote server via Secure File Transfer Protocol.

The following attributes are mandatory and must be added to any File Transfer (FTP/SFTP) action for it to function correctly.

AttributeDescription/Value
Default HostIP Address of the remote server you are going to transfer documents to.
Default UsernameUsername to login to that server.
Default PasswordPassword to login to that server.
Default Working DirectoryThe particular directory in that server that you want to documents to be transferred to (e.g. /upload). Please note that if there is no particular directory you want to upload the documents to, “/” should still be entered.
For example if you are using C:\FTP\Files as the root, users just need to give (e.g. /filename) as the target path - not C:\FTP\Files\filename full path which would try to create another whole folder structure inside the root directory and then falls over.
Default PortFor SFTP transfer, the default port will always be 22. For FTP transfer, the default port will always be 21.
Default Protocol [FTP/SFTP]Specify the sending option, either “sftp” or “ftp”.
Default Create Folder [True/False]Specify whether you want to Working Directory above to be created or not. Either “True” or “False”.
