NFS is used when your XI can access the file location directly using the NFS protocol.

When the File System can be access using FTP protocol, then you need to use FTP and provide the FTP server details and user crendentials to pull data from the File Server.

NFS is used when you want XI to use the NFS protocol to access thye location of the file.

FTP is File Transfer Protocol and is used when your Sender SYstem is using an FTP system to send / receiver files.

we are using NFS when we required to poll the files from local machines..

We are using FTP when we required to poll the data from the FTP server which are in the remote side or outside of the firewall..

NFS: when the file folder is available on the XI Server

File: When you dnt need to do any conversions with respect to your XML file

FCC: when either your source or targety file need to convert

Hi,

If the Sharing folder is in the same XI system then NFS..If the sharing folder is in different system it is FTP.

we will use NFS when we required to poll the files from local machines.and we will use FTP when we required to poll the data from the FTP server which are in the remote side or outside of the firewall
