Prabhu,

Yes that's right - You have to get all the information as Michael suggested.

As a side note - if they often change their IP address it would be better if you get FQDN from them , like ftp.company.com (example).

Thanks!

Hi Prabhu,

You need to get the information as suggested by michal and other guys. Also these parameters may change when you move to QA and Production. So you can check with them these also for each server.

Hi Prabhu,

Since you are connecting to the 3rd party, do you intend to make it secure? If yes, then I assume you will go for SFTP. So, a 3rd party SFTP adapter needs to be bought.

In case spending $$$ is a problem, then there are workarounds to make the connection secure without the usage of a 3rd party SFTP adapter.
