Pushing Files
Originating from
Sessions to a
Primary FTP Server
- Backup FTP
Server
Parallel with the file moving function, the converted files may
be pushed automatically to an external FTP server (the
“primary” FTP server) through an IP connection, using the
FTP communication protocol (activate the
Automatic Transfer
option in
Receiver
>
Sessions
>
Settings
on the Web Server).
End users will then be able to connect to that FTP server for
downloading the data they need for their applications.
The receiver being the client for this transfer, you need to
enter the IP address (or host name) and IP port of the remote
FTP server, and also enter the login and password that will let
the receiver upload its files to the server (see
Receiver
>
Sessions
>
External FTP Servers
on the Web Server).
You can also sort the files while transferring them to the FTP
server. This is done using the same method as in the file
moving function (a dedicated
Sub-directory Name Format
field
also exists in this case of use).
By default the created tree structure is attached to the root
directory of the FTP server. Using the
Path
field, you can
attach the tree structure to the subdirectory the FTP server
owner will have assigned to you. For example, typing
Path
=
ARCH5212 or
Path
= /ARCH5212/ (the first and last slashes
are optional), means your subdirectories will be created in the
ARCH5212 subdirectory.
You can ask the receiver to delete the files from its memory
after it has pushed them to the external FTP server. This is
achieved by enabling the
Delete Files After Transfer
option (see
Receiver
>
Sessions
>
Settings
on the Web Server).
To make sure the files are always available to users, a backup
FTP server can be made ready. The backup FTP server will
use the same file organization as the one defined for the
primary FTP server (through the above-mentioned
Sub-
directory Name Format
field). The backup FTP server can be
used in two different ways:
Raw Data Files
End users
Ethernet
SP90m
External FTP Server
