Using File Adapter to transfer files from directories on unix file server.

[Former Member]

I have this scenario. I have a PI server on hpus45 and I want to use it to transfer files from a source directory to a destination directory on a unix file server. The unix file server is on a different box eg hpus30.

What do I configure in SLD and Integration Directory? All the examples I have seen is transfering files from directories on the PI server but none on a different box.'

Is it possible? I need help asap. I need to determine what the best approach is by today.

If both the server are on same network then you can instal any ftp server on the other box and use protocol FTP in the sender and receiver CC in integration directory.

thanks.

Hi,

As Sudhir mentioned you can go ahead

>What do I configure in SLD and Integration Directory? All the examples I have seen is transfering files >from directories on the PI server but none on a different box.'

Go for Business Service ( No need to declare in SLD ) Under the Business Service declare a File Adapter and Point to the different box.

Make your source an unix directories shared in your network and use the shared paths in the CCs.
