FTP/File Adapter - inner workers

[Former Member]

Does the file adapter's FTP capability provide "robustness" around the FTP process to ensure that the message was delivered intact (i.e.. sometimes FTPing from Unix to non-Unix creates changes within the file)?

Thanks!

Hi Kevin

In case there is an issue with transferring from unix to non-unix system within the file, you can maybe execute a shell script or .bat file at the end where you are ftp-ing the file to correct the changes in the file. Inorder to call the batch or shell script you can use the 'Operating System Command' in the file adapter.

Hi Kevin,

XI ensure 100% that the file gets ftp to the location. I have used XI File adapter and havent noticed any odd behaviour.
