Remote Server - FTPing

[Former Member]

I need to FTP a file to a remote server and for this I need to write a Shell Script. Would some one help me please?

1) Using the NFS File Protocol I need to write the Target file into XI server

2) Then Connect to the Remote FTP Server and to the Specific Directory

3) Then FTP the file from XI server to the Remote server.

Thanks.

hi jenni,

You can execute a Unix script running in the XI server from the File communication channel. Ie. if you want to do something which was not part of XI adapter configuation , then you can make use of external unix script and you can execute those from the XI.

For this, write a unix script and place in the XI OS level provided that path is accessible from PI Channel.

E.g

So u can use this in either Sender Channel to modify the data before it reaches into the Integration Server or in Receiver channel it is generally used to transfer the files into different location via Secure FTP
