Using FTP Adapter Commands
Use the adapter commands from the Map Designer or Integration Flow Designer
as the data source of an input map card and as the data target for an output map
card. You can also use the adapter on the command line or in a map rule using
the functions
GET
,
PUT
, or
RUN
.
The FTP adapter requires the
-URL
adapter command for the
GET > Source > Command
and
PUT > Target > Command
settings.
See
Chapter 3 - FTP Commands

host
computer:
-URL FTP://host/c:/forms/

the Internet use the following common syntax for scheme-specific data:
//user:password@host:port/url_path
Some or all parts of
user:password@
,
:password
,
:port
, and
/url_path
may
be excluded. The scheme-specific data start with a double slash (
//
) to indicate
that it complies with the common Internet scheme syntax. The
user:password
component conforms to the following rules:
user
An optional user name. Some schemes allow the specification of a
user name.
password
An optional password. When present, it follows the user name and is
