I think that you can solve in 4 different ways:

-> Using FTPS connection

-> Using a 3rd Party Adapter (Seeburger or Aedaptive) for PGP or deploying a custom adapter for PGP

-> PGP OS Level (Installing a PGP software like GnuPGP in your system) Install the PGP software in XI and write the OS command for encryption and decryption at OS level. Call this command in File adapter after or before message processing

-> Using an UDF

Hi Kakakoti,

adapter user exit means adapter modules.

You can USE PGP to encrypt and decrypt the data.

For PGP encryption you can buy any thirdparty PGP module or you can develop any module.

Otherwise you can use some PGP jar file . And use File adapter preprocessing and post processing OS command to extute the PGP conversion JAR in FTP server itself.

And If you want to go with SFTP connectivity then you need to buy SFTP adapter

Also you can develop an SFTP adapter or Java Proxy.

Thanks
