FTP Adapter only picking up one file

[Former Member]

I have a FTP Adapter configured to pick files (hoping to get multiple files). The file name is set to *, which should mean any files in the directory will get processed. The data connection is Passive. No connection security. Connect Mode is per file transfer. And QOS is EO.

Only one file is being picked up every time the Adapter is run, which is set to 30 minutes. Does anyone know why only one file would be picked up at a time? Is there a setting somewhere that I can't locate?

I appreciate any help.

Hi Larry,

I have worked on a similar scenario and it works fine for me.

I am mentioning below the configuration details for the sender communication channel:

Transport protocol : FTP

Server : FTP server IP

Port : 21

Connect mode : Per file transfer

Transfer Mode : Binary

Folder : folder name starting with /

File name : *.xml (all the files should have same extension).

The files u are providing should be in the same format. Data can be different but structure should be the same.

Quality of Service : Exactly Once

Hopefully now it will work.

Hi,

Either give your file name starts with comman name. or just give .

But this may be because of some locking problems. You can check the FTP log from Visual Admin.

Hi Larry,

When you want use transport protocol FTP,

we have to specify

Adapter Type: File

1)the source directory( which is name of the shared folder you have given in ftp server: eg /Test)

2)here since you want to pick up all the files in that directory, File Name has to be given as .

3)FTP Server Name

4)Port(default 21)

5)The login name n password.

6)Connection Security: None

7)Connect Mode : Per File Transfer

😎 Transfer mode : Binary
