hi,

In file adapter, in file access parameter what is sourse directory

this is the address for the source file where it is placed.

if u r using NFS protocol please change \ to /.

the file name must be same as the sender file name.

in the receiver file adapter the

you need to give the address for the target directory where u want to put the target file

Hi,

Source dir --> from where you pick the file

File name -- > name of file

Archive dir -- > If you want save the files in some other directory after processing them. you can mentione that directory here. its like keeping the record of files processed by FTP channel
