OS4X plugin os4xplugin ftp upload

Purpose

For simple FTP upload tasks, this plugin can transfer all job files to a target FTP server

Configuration

The plugin must be configured on per-partner level and has no global configuration.

Configuration parameters are:

• Server: server incl. protocol being used. Supported protocols are (at least, but not limited to) "ftp".
  • Syntax: ftp://<ip or hostname>
  • Traling slashed are being eliminated automatically, but you should not configure these.
  • Example: ftp://192.168.1.2 or ftp://ftp.myserver.com
• Path: target path where to upload files to.
  • Syntax: /<pathToUpload>
  • Missing leading slashes will be appended automatically, but you should configure this.
  • Trailing slashes will be removed automatically, but you should not configure these.
• (optionally) username: The username used for login to the server.
• (optionally) password: The password used for login to the server.

Bevahiour

The plugin loops over all files of the job and handles them separately (one after another). For each file, the plugin

• connects to the FTP server
• uploads the file to the target directory with the temporary name with a leading dot (".") in front of the virtual filename
• after upload, the file is being renamed to the virtual filename without the leading dot.

Since the plugin has no specific configuration for proxies, the plugin uses the system-wide proxy settings of your system (see OS4X HTTP Proxy support).
