Reg. File FTP using XI.

[Former Member]

Can we FTP a file(i.e. the file could be a simple text, Excel, or PDF format and etc..) from one location to another location using XI without doing any mappings and other stuff. Just simply I need to send it from one location to another location using XI. Since we will be getting a file in a particular location on a regular interval basis, say for every 30 secs,....but the file could be in any format like text or Excel or PDF etc ...Does it possible to transfer files using XI without having the stuff like declaring Datatypes, Message types and etc?? Since as of my knowledge, we need to know the structure of the Input & Output files to transfer from one location to another location using XI. I have never come across this type of scenario.

I would be very much thankful to you if you could help/advise me on this?

Thanks,

-Murthy

Raj,

You dont need IR. If he want to use XI just only for FTP purpose then he dont need. Also for filename we can use adapter specific identifiers.

But your way of presentation the link with screenshots is really good.

Keep up the good work.

Bhamidipati,

Yes you can send PDF, JPEG etc also. You should not have any problem. But in your communicaiton channels you specify file type as binary. Check the steps given in the weblog as given by Raj.

Bhamidipati,

Good to know. I have tested jpeg, pdf and excel. They are working.

Also once if you are satisfied with the responses from sdn you should close your threads.
